Part Design: Uniform Wall Thickness: Corners

Critical Constraints

  • Use same center point for both radii
  • Outside radius = inside radius + wall thickness

Notes:

  • Origin of both radii must be coincident to prevent thick or thin corners
  • Thin corners weaken part
  • Thick corners cool slowly increasing molded-in stress and potential warpage risk
