Advantages of Gas assist Molding
1.Cycle time reduction and lower production costs
2.Lower clamp tonnage
3.Lower Injection pressures
4.Faster cycle due to hollow sections vs. solid section
Design Freedom
1.Large ribs possible and permissible
2.Long flow lengths without multiple drops
Quality Improvement
1.Lower stress within the part
2.Better dimensional stability and part to part size variations
3.Elimination of sink marks and warpage and voids
4.Greater strength and rigidity
5.Reduced knit lines (No multiple drops necessary)
Material savings through weight reduction
1.Hollow parts
Simplification of Tooling
1.Elimination of lifters and undercuts
