Injection Molding Parts - 3D Thickness Analysis

Injection Molding Parts - 3D Thickness Analysis

Hi!


Lately working on user specific requirements for thickness analysis. Especially on 3D thickness and Sectioning.


I want to know what would users prefer while calculating thickness of section.


There are typically two ways:


1) Try to fit a Sphere for 3D or have a section and try to fit a circle touching 3 points. Or try to fit largest dia


What would users prefer?


2) By Ray method draw a line from point perpendicular to face til it touches the other surface.


Want to know feedback from users designing plastic parts.


You can visit here for more information: www.geomcaliper.com


Awaiting your feedback!


Thanks,


Prashant

The sphere method is needed to calculate minimum sections for heat
treating, etc... and would be very helpful, but only in 3D.
