This handbook was written for the injection molding product designer who has a
limited knowledge of engineering polymers. It is a guide for the designer to decide
which resin and design geometries to use for the design of plastic parts. It can
also offer knowledgeable advice for resin and machine selection and processing
parameters. Manufacturer and end user satisfaction is the ultimate goal.
This book is an indispensable, all inclusive, reference guide that can be used by
any plastic product designer. There is no need to search through many books
and catalogs for needed information. New illustrations, graphs and equations
have been included to provide additional clarity for complex ideas. The equations
have been verified to ensure correctness and not just copied from another
source. Thousands of hours of research and cross referencing have gone into
the completion of this work. In addition, more than 35 years of the “hands-onâ€
experience of a plastics expert have been incorporated in this handbook.
The following topics are covered:
