For mold design, we will set the mold shrinkage base on the injected material\u2019s property and shrinkage. The mold cavity size will be different when in different shrinkage, this will reflect on the size of injection molded part. Making the right material decision, you must not only consider the material\u2019s property, but also look at the application of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamrapidtooling.com\/injection-molding-tooling-china-t-24.html\"><strong>custom injection molded part<\/strong><\/a> will be exposed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will it be used outdoor or hard condition?
