Screw boss

The proper design of screw bosses is crucial for the stability and durability of plastic components. Screw bosses with a wall thickness of approximately 60 percent of the surrounding wall, rounded transitions at the base to avoid stress concentrations, and reinforcing ribs have proven effective in practice. It is also important not to place screw bosses directly on outer walls in order to prevent sink marks. A well-thought-out design not only improves the quality of the screw connection but also reduces the risk of warping, sink marks, and manufacturing issues.

Plastics List

This plastics list helps our team quickly identify suitable materials and compare them effectively. It is based on real project experience: each listed plastic has been successfully used in specific applications and has proven its value in practice.

Overmolding

Stress cracks, warping, or insufficient sealing – many overmolding issues only become apparent late in the development process. But they can be systematically avoided: the key lies in thoughtful design, precise process control, and the right choice of materials.

Material Selection

Choosing the right plastic can make or break a component. Whether it's strength, appearance, temperature resistance, or cost – material selection affects all key properties of a product. Here's an overview of important criteria and practical examples from real-world applications.
