Plastic Design

[lindejos]

Does anyone have a good reference for plastic design. I am new to
draft and bosses and it would be nice to have a plastic design
resource. E-Funda is ok, but not comprehensive by any means.



Thanks in advance.

engineersedge.com has a nice resource...amazon.com has some good books if that is what you are looking for

Ticona has a really good Injection Molded design guide:

You'll need to regiester (free) to access the PDF file, but t's worth it I think.

Mr.Plastic - that looks like anice reference site as well. I noticed that they also have a single PDF file conaining all of the 'Design' section of the website.


To get it, go to this page anddownload the PDF from the right-side menu:

I like having PDF copies of these types of references locally so that I'm not dependent on the websites in the future...

You'll have to create an account to download the PDF or, if you supply
me an email address, I can Zip it up and email it to you.

Mold Engineering by Herbert Rees is a good resource. not cheap- but very thoro and robust design concepts.
