Typical Design Guidlines for Blow Molding
Typical Design Guidlines for Blow Molding
(OP)
Are there any quick guidelines for blowmolding as there is with injection molding. (ex. minimum radius, typical wall thickness, maximum cavity depth, minimum cavity width, etc...)
I plan to design a blow molded case for our product and haven't really played much with that process much.
Any information about this, or where i can find a good book or site with info on this subject, would be greatly appreciated...thanks

Have a look at the Society of Plastics /Engineers site 4SPE.org
Contact Mergon Inc http://www.mergon.com/eng_mergon/index.htm
They blow mold lots of cases for things like electric drills.
They have a plant in S.C. and are a customer of mine.
They a very customer oriented, and I'm certain they will be helpful.

definitely check-out SPE

You should also search on either Google or Dogpile.com for some free information.
I am also guessing that you have done your homework on the best process to use for production. The reason that I mention this is due to the fact that most of the tool cases that I have seen, were manufactured using either injection, thermoform, rotaional molding or a combination of these.
