SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Top Five Injection Molded Part Design Errors, the Consequences, and How to Avoid Them
When injection molded parts have defects, it’s often the molder that takes the blame. However, the root cause of many defects is a poorly designed part. In fact, it is the part designer that has the greatest potential to improve
