Many plastic parts – such as construction materials, outdoor equipment, and prosthetics – must withstand high, repetitious impact and bear significant loads of force. Not using a material that has proven toughness can run the risk of your part breaking, resulting in severe or sometimes life-threatening consequences. Choosing an impact-resistant polymer means finding the right balance between toughness and pliability. We’re here to help you by highlighting the top-impact resistant thermoplastic for injection molding.

How to Design Plastic Parts Right for Injection Molding
The first stage of creating a successful product is to design parts specifically made for plastic injection molding. The design criteria of a plastic injection molded part are essential to creating a durable product with little risk of defects. It’s important to perfect the design from the start – using prototyping methods and tweaking part features – because, during the development phase, design changes or corrections cannot be made unless you’re willing to significantly add to your manufacturing costs. Let’s review how you can design plastic parts right for injection molding to avoid unnecessary spending.
