Venting • Place vents at the end of fill and anywhere potential knit/weld lines will occur. • All vents need to be vented to atmosphere. • For circular parts, full perimeter venting is recommended. • Cut vent depths to: - PPA Compounds: 0.0015"–0.0025" depth and 0.250" width - PC Compounds: 0.002"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width - PSU Compounds: 0.003"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width - PES Compounds: 0.003"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width - PPS Compounds: 0.002"–0.003" depth and 0.250" width - Acetal Compounds: 0.0015" minimum depth and 0.250" width - PEEK Compounds: 0.002"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width - Nylon Compounds: 0.002" minimum depth and 0.250" width • Increase vent depth to 0.060" (1.5mm) at 0.250" (4.0mm) away from the cavity and vent to atmosphere.
