This handbook was written for the injection moulding product designer who has limited knowledge of engineering polymers. It is a guide for the designer to decide which resin and design geometries to use for the design of plastic parts. It can also offer knowledgeable advice for resin and machine selection and processing parameters. Manufacturer and end-user satisfaction is the ultimate goal. This book is an indispensable, all-inclusive, reference guide that can be used by any plastic product designer. There is no need to search through many books and catalogues for needed information. New illustrations, graphs and equations have been included to provide additional clarity for complex ideas. The equations have been verified to ensure correctness and not just copied from another source. Thousands of hours of research and cross-referencing have gone into the completion of this work. In addition, more than 35 years of the “hands-on ”experience of a plastics expert have been incorporated in this handbook.
