The web, hub, gate, wall transitions and ejection strategy influence the finished tooth geometry.<\/p>\n<p>Uniform sections and balanced geometry help cooling, while abrupt thick-to-thin transitions can create sink or differential shrinkage. Tooth tips and roots also need to release from the tool without damage.<\/p>\n<p>Gear teeth themselves may be thin while the hub is relatively heavy. That thickness contrast is a classic source of uneven cooling. A webbed or cored hub can sometimes improve molding balance, but the redesign must still carry torque from the bore to the teeth. DFM should therefore connect flow and cooling recommendations to the mechanical load path instead of treating them as separate objectives.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"imp-content-image\"><img alt=\"Plastic Gear Design for Injection Molding\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/injection-molded-parts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/plastic-gear-geometry.webp\"\/><\/figure>\n<section class=\"imp-section\">\n<h2>Hva tegningen skal formidle<\/h2>\n<p>Review tooth geometry together with hub diameter, web thickness, bore features, gate location, parting line and the expected shrinkage of the selected resin.<\/p>\n<p>Legg disse inndataene p\u00e5 den kontrollerte tegningen, spesifikasjonen eller vedlegget til tilbudssp\u00f8rsm\u00e5let der det er mulig. \u00c5 holde dem unna uformelle meldingstr\u00e5der gj\u00f8r det enklere \u00e5 h\u00e5ndtere leverand\u00f8rsammenligninger og senere revisjoner.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"imp-section\">\n<h2>Risikovurdering<\/h2>\n<p>Late changes to hub or wall geometry can move the process window after the gear tooth design was already frozen.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"imp-content-image\"><img alt=\"Plastic Gear Design for Injection Molding design and geometry reference\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/injection-molded-parts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/molding-shrinkage-warpage.webp\"\/><\/figure>\n<section class=\"imp-section\">\n<h2>Pr\u00f8veaksept<\/h2>\n<p>Inspect first samples for both gear characteristics and molded-part effects such as runout or distortion.<\/p>\n<p>For Plastic Gear Design for Injection Molding, close the DFM loop by updating the controlled CAD\/drawing and sample plan.
