Internally heated systems, which use torpedo heaters, are not recommended because they have hot spots, stagnation zones and partially solidified material clinging to the walls. In many cases, this practice is misleading, since the real temperature of the melt can vary significantly from the nozzle’s temperature. In many cases, this practice is misleading, since the real temperature of the melt can vary significantly from the nozzle’s temperature.

Processing parameters and part design can influence the residual stresses in a part; higher melt and mold temperatures with longer cooling times can reduce residual stress during molding, whereas coring features, bosses, and round/oval holes (when necessary) can help alleviate internal stresses around part corners.
