Molding No Draft Tubes
Medical device parts with cylindrical shapes are traditionally designed to have tapers in both internal and external walls which facilitate easy ejection of the molded part from the tool without any issues. There are times, however, when a part’s required tolerances and/or function will not allow for it. This was the case with a customer who wanted a tubular component molded without drafts under strict tolerances. Could the part be molded without any drafts? Find out in this case study.
