Plastic Injection Molding - Cracks

Plastic Injection Molding - Cracks

Plastic Injection Molding - Cracks

(OP)
I have a supplier who is threatening to shut down our production line because they are having cracks in their final product with the injection molding process. What part of the process could cause this issue?

RE: Plastic Injection Molding - Cracks

Wouldn't the location of the cracks be an important bit of info?  Is it near a boss or a rib?  Is it in the middle of an extremely thin/thick section?

Thank you.

RE: Plastic Injection Molding - Cracks


The reasons are many - most are problems which will be associated with a specific polymer (e.g. PC and cold tool/solvents, etc)

Is this an existing product with a sudden problem?

What do you know... we solved the problem by asking questions and giving no answers.

I feel like a manager!
