Defect Guide

Surface Roughness

Rough surface or lack of gloss. Caused by inadequate flow, low mold temperature, etc.

Common Causes

  • Melt temperature too low
  • Mold temperature too low
  • Injection speed too low
  • Poor mold surface condition
  • Excessive release agent

Solutions

  • Raise melt temperature
  • Raise mold temperature
  • Increase injection speed
  • Polish mold surface
  • Reduce release agent quantity

Resin-Specific Notes

PA

GF reinforcement can expose fibers at surface → raising mold temperature helps.

PC

Excellent surface gloss, but mold temperature is key.

ABS

Good surface reproducibility.
