RIBS are often used to increase bending stiffness without adding to wall thickness to cast urethane parts. To account for any shrink (or sink), we recommend rib thickness not exceed 60% of nominal wall thickness.
When incorporating letters and logos – raised or recessed – there are three factors to keep in mind: Height or feature depth, feature width and the radii on feature/ between features. The space between features should land around 0.050” at the minimum, though this can vary with design. The radii should be equal to half the height, or larger, and the width should be twice the height.
Micro-welded inserts are incorporated with cast urethane manufacturing via a method developed by Stratasys Direct Manufacturing. The bond of Micro-welded inserts in urethane cast parts are on average 50-100% stronger than conventionally bonded inserts and over 100% stronger than heat staked inserts. We have developed the chart below as a reference guide for incorporating inserts with urethane cast parts.
Stratasys Direct Manufacturing offers Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interface (RFI) shielding for the production of sensitive electrical part housings. RFI/EMI shielding uses copper, nickel or silver based coatings processed internally via a Stratasys Direct Manufacturing production site.
Beginning urethane casting can be an exciting time during a product’s lifecycle. It marks the beginning of the product launch, or the earliest functional part for sharing with customers and your project team members. Cast urethane parts undergo painting, sanding and quality inspection to result in beautiful units ready for market.
