Acetal (POM)
Acetal (POM)(Saigang) is a commonly used material option in injection molding scenarios, suitable for balancing cost, appearance, and performance. If your key requirements lean more toward strength, temperature resistance, wear resistance, or appearance texture, you can choose higher-performance materials or adjust process routes based on the application scenario.

More suitable (recommended)
Low-cost general-purpose parts: injection molded parts sensitive to cost and requiring stable delivery; Appearance controllable: Aiming to improve consistency and recognition through spray painting, silk screening, or laser engraving; Higher surface quality is required: Parts that require tactile and surface appearance
Not recommended to use directly (suggest changing materials/solutions)
Extreme temperature resistance/long-term high-temperature operation: It is recommended to select heat-resistant materials that better match actual working conditions; Highly corrosive/strong chemical media: material compatibility must be evaluated in conjunction with the media list; Extremely strict high-appearance A-level surfaces: It is recommended to simultaneously evaluate mold texture, parting lines, and spraying schemes

Design and risk review
Wall thickness and uniformity: Try to keep the wall thickness consistent to avoid sudden changes in thickness that can cause shrinkage or warping; If necessary, use reinforcement ribs instead of solid thickened ones. Release angle: It is recommended to reserve a release angle on the sidewalls in all draft directions; The appearance/texture surfaces require a more ample slope to reduce strains. Fillet and stress concentration: Try to make rounded transitions between inner and outer corners to reduce the risk of cracking and bleaching, and improve mold filling flow. Gate/parting line/ejector pin marks: If there is any appearance prohibited...
Wall thickness and uniformity
- Wall thickness and uniformity: Try to keep the wall thickness consistent to avoid sudden changes in thickness that can cause shrinkage or warping; If necessary, use reinforcement ribs instead of solid thickness.
- Release angle: It is recommended to reserve a release angle on the sidewalls in all draft directions; The appearance/texture surfaces require a more ample slope to reduce strains.
- Fillet and stress concentration: Internal and external corners should be rounded as much as possible to reduce the risk of cracking and bleaching, and improve mold filling flow.
- Gate/parting line/ejector stamp: If there are any appearance restriction zones, please mark them in the drawings or remarks. We will prioritize optimizing gate and ejection solutions.
- Hole Position and Assembly: Key holes/mating surfaces are recommended to indicate tolerances and references; If secondary processing (reaming/tapping, etc.) is required, please indicate in the details.
- Inverted and lateral core-pulling: Inverted sliding increases the sliding block/angled ejection structure and costs; Priority can be given to structural modifications (snap direction, opening, disassembly).
Wall thickness and uniformity
Try to keep the wall thickness consistent to avoid sudden changes in thickness that can cause shrinkage or warping; If necessary, use reinforcement ribs instead of solid thickness.
Release angle
It is recommended to reserve a demolding angle on the sidewalls in all draft directions; The appearance/texture surfaces require a more ample slope to reduce strains.
Fillets and stress concentration
Internal and external corners should be rounded and transitioned as much as possible to reduce the risk of cracking and bleaching, and improve mold filling flow.
Gate/parting line/ejector pin mark
If there are any appearance no-discharge zones, please mark them in the drawings or remarks. We will prioritize optimizing gate and ejection solutions.

Polishing
Used to remove minor burrs and improve tactile feel; Clear acceptance standards (texture/gloss/feel) can be applied to the exterior.
Screen printing
Suitable for logos, markings, scales, and other graphic and text information; It is recommended to provide vector files with annotations for their positions and dimensions.
Laser carving
Suitable for serial numbers, QR codes, permanent identification, etc.; Please note the engraving content, size, and acceptable contrast.
Spray paint
Used for color and texture consistency (matte/matte/highlight, etc.); It is recommended to provide reference images or specify the color code and appearance requirements.
