Wall thickness
Uneven wall thickness present challenges to the plastic molder manufacturer. Designing your part with uniform walls and cross section will simplify manufacturing and costing. At wall intersection or "tees" sinking will occur. Thick walls cool slower and greater shrinking will occur. Thin walls cool faster as thus, less shrinkage. Ways to deal with this "shrikage

Unwanted sink Disguise (texture) Core out top Core out bottom Foaming agent (structfoam) Gas assist molding Spread sink over more area

Fastener Limitations
Mechanical fasteners are point fasteners. Localized regions of potentially high stress. Holes >>> stress concentration and weld line formation. Thermal expansion mismatch. mismatch Additional pieces / parts. G k t to Gasket t achieve hi a fluid fl id or gas tight ti ht seal. l

Fastener Advantages
Operable (or reversible) joints or permanent assembly. An effective method for joining most thermoplastic & thermosetting parts (except very ) flexible items). Join parts produced in similar or dissimilar materials. Available in a variety of sizes and materials. The joining practices are very conventional. Metal fasteners properties are independent of temp., te p, The assembly strength is achieved quickly.
