Plastic Material selection querie
(OP)
Good Morning well atleast in Australia. I am in need of some advice as plastic engineering is not my forte as I am a Mechanical Designer not product... something I regret haah anyway... I am looking for a material that would be able to puncture a Aluminium Can ie. Coke,Pepsi etc. The part would come to a Conicalwhich would be used to puncture the can. If anyone could help advise I would be forever thankful!
Thanks Again
Geoff!

You have to look at the total "in position" cost.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

@ornerynorsk Number of times? Do you mean run off, we are looking at 1000 first. Then would be ordering 10000 rough 3 months depending on sales. Temperature
is Atmospheric to 0 as it will be subject to cool liquid when in use. Like I said eariler plastic moulding isn't my first language, as far as cavities go call me out if I'm wrong but
I think we can only use 1/very limited as it has a centre hole that will require a core making it more then a 2 piece mould.

Behaviour of polymers in colder temps are definitely not my area, but there are a number of posters here that are real experts in their field.
Injection tooling is certainly not inexpensive, but amortized out over the expected production volume or life of tool, you might be talking about pennies per unit.
Just my 2 cents, Good Luck!

This is the most important part of any product development. It can be very expensive to make changes to part and mould design later.
