Can't understand how do I put these shrinkage value(see jpeg) on my model.. please any one guide me...0.0050cm/cm ....or 0.0050in/in...????what does it mean
Thanks Ben for your reply.... I know how to use shrinkage dialogue box in creo..but what confusing me is the value which I take from metweb..of that plastic...as 0.0050cm/cm.or 0.005in/in....if I work in millimeters...then what should I have to put in shrinkage column.....
Are you asking what the shrinkage values mean in terms of the physics behind it? Basic concepts? Or are you asking how we'd use those values to build a model for a mold?

Mold shrinkage is a ratio, the units don't matter. Notice that the value is the same, 0.005, for both metric and English. It's 0.005 inches of shrinkage per 1 inch or 0.005 cm per 1 cm. The same would be true of mm or km or yards or whatever.
What it is saying is that it shrinks 1/2 of one percent. In other words, for each 1 unit of length it will shrink 0.005 units.
