Early in design development, parts are identified as potential plastic applications and applicable manufacturing processes are considered. Designers must decide which should come first: selection of a material or a process for manufacturing a part? Normally, the configuration requirements of the plastic part will direct the design toward a process. In most cases, the process must be determined before a specific resin grade can be selected. During this review, designers also need to consider if the process is capable of meeting the design requirements such as size, shape, detail and tolerances.
