Guide to Avoiding Sink and Warp
Sink marks are indentations caused mainly by thermal contraction as the polymer cools in thick regions of plastic parts. Warp is a defect in which the surfaces of the molded part have unintended bending and twisting. Both are caused by material shrinkage due to non-uniform cooling of the molded polymer.
There are best practices to use when designing your part that can help avoid sinking and warping. Download Quickparts’ Guide to Avoiding Sink and Warp which covers:
