How does acrylic meet the challenges of manufacturing thin-walled parts, for example with DVD replication?
It solves all needs very well, as it has excellent stability characteristics for such products. Check manufacturer weacrylic.com who can help you solve your needs for acrylic sheets or other materials
Acrylic materials are available in a wide range of flow grades, some of which are better suited to thin-wall molding than others. Acrylics that are best suited for thin wall applications have a high melt flow rate and good thermal stability. A good example of this in practical use is with DVD replication. This requires that the acrylic be molded into a 0.6mm thick by 12cm diameter disc in a 5.6-second cycle time without degrading the material. It also requires producing a high-quality optical part with exceptional surface replication to allow reproduction of the digital information on the stamper. Q: How well do acrylics work in gas-assisted molding operations? A: Acrylics work well and have been used successfully in gas-assisted molding operations. Typically, such operations are used to minimize part weight by blowing a gas bubble inside a part. This process is most often used for opaque materials where the bubble cannot be seen, so we see this more often with opaque acrylic alloys th
