By using Smartbatch™ FX, the molder was able to produce parts ready for assembly with no secondary processing required.

It follows, then, that starting the design process with an exploration into candidate materials could legitimately be referred to as intrinsic design.

Can that design be manufactured with currently existing processes, and if so, can it be made efficiently?

To aid in release, the cavity or core may be coated with a release coating such as PTFE impregnated nickel after it has been given a sandblast or EDM finish. Most conventional gating types are suitable for processing GLS TPEs.
