INCORRECT CORRECT

Part with thick walls Part redesigned with thin walls

Non-uniform wall thickness (t1 ≠ t2)

Uniform wall thickness (t1 = t2)

 Sharp corner Rounded corner

• Round corners to reduce stress concentrations and

fracture
• Inner radius should be at least the thickness of the
walls
 No draft angle Draft angle (θ)

• Apply a draft angle of 1° - 2° to all walls parallel to the

parting direction to facilitate removing the part from the
mold.
Thick wall of thickness t Thin wall of thickness t with ribs

• Add ribs for structural support, rather than increasing

the wall thickness
Incorrect rib direction under load F Correct rib direction under load F

• Orient ribs perpendicular to the axis about which

bending may occur
• Thickness of ribs should be 50-60% of the walls to which
they are attached
• Height of ribs should be less than three times the wall
thickness
• Round the corners at the point of attachment
• Apply a draft angle of at least 0.25°

Thick rib of thickness t Thin rib of thickness t

Close up of ribs
• Wall thickness of bosses should be no more than 60%
of the main wall thickness
• Radius at the base should be at least 25% of the main
wall thickness
• Should be supported by ribs that connect to adjacent
walls or by gussets at the base

Isolated boss Isolated boss with ribs (left) or gussets (right

• If a boss must be placed near a corner, it should be
isolated using ribs
