Tooling Review

The involvement of CRC in the early stages of part and tool design, is one of our most important functions. Because plastic materials have different shrinkage characteristics, it is important to have the proper material selected prior to tool design. 

The following areas are examples of important aspects of proper tooling as it relates to specific plastic materials:

Wall thickness vs. flow length
Gate type and location
Material shrinkage
Part dimensional stability

By addressing these areas in the early stages of a program, an application has the best possibility of coming to fruition on time and on budget. CRC offers these services free of charge for our Customers.
