Part Design: Rib Design


Critical Constraints

  • Thickness: 1/2 to 2/3 nominal wall thickness
  • Height: Less than 3 times thickness
  • Taper: 1º per side

Notes:

  • Thickness: Excessive thickness promotes sinkmarks
  • Height: Excessive rib height combined with taper will produce thin walls requiring increased injection pressure to fill
