Gate location is a critical factor in injection molding that affects flow balance, pressure, and ultimately the quality of the molded part. Poor gate placement can lead to warpage, incomplete filling, or visible defects.
Best Practices for Gate Location
- Place gates at the thickest section of the part
- Avoid placing gates near areas prone to warpage
- Use Moldflow analysis to visualize flow and optimize placement
- Consider multiple gates for large or complex parts
