Protomold®, a Proto Labs service, is the world’s fastest source for custom injection molded parts. They use a highly automated process to create real injection molded parts directly from 3D CAD models – in as little as one business day. Really.
Their Sample Cube has been designed to illustrate several important considerations when designing any part to be injection molded. The cube showcases a range of available surface finishes and examples of good and bad form for bosses, gussets, and ribs. It also demonstrates the impact on part quality of overly thick or thin sections, as well as ways to incorporate holes and their potential effect on resin flow.
