Injection molding is one of the most popular methods for rapid manufacturing. The injection molding draft angle is a critical parameter in this process that has a significant impact on product quality.
The injection molding draft angle is an essential geometric feature built into molds for injection molding. It is the taper, or degree of inclination, of the mold’s walls along the drawing direction.
As it is a feature of the mold, the draft angle is also visible on the component. Its unit of measurement is degrees.
Typically, engineers use an angle of around 1.5 degrees. However, it can range anywhere between 0.5-10 degrees for certain special applications.
