Warpage is due to the difference between the mold shrinkage rates in the direction of the mold flow and across the flow. The effect is morenoticeable in fiber filled plastics. The major factor is different wall thickness as a thick section normally shrinks more than a thinner section. Mold design, gate position and process control can minimize this effect, however, the basic material behavior cannot be corrected 100%. There fore apractical tolerance must be negotiated with the respective production units.
