Webinar: Designing for Moldability

In this webinar, we will walk you through what you need to know at the beginning of your design process, including understanding key design considerations, avoiding cosmetic defects and improving manufacturability with automated analysis.


Knowing where to begin when designing an injection-molded part can be a daunting task. In this webinar, we will walk you through what you need to know at the beginning of your design process, including understanding key design considerations, avoiding cosmetic defects and improving manufacturability with automated analysis.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • Key design considerations for injection molding.
  • How design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback can save valuable time and money when integrated into a product development cycle.
  • How rapid manufacturing technology is redefining traditional manufacturing.
  • How to identify and avoid common cosmetic defects such as warp or sink.
