Highly loaded polymer systems can be brittle, which can lead to more breakages when using snap fits.
Cooling Rate & Time Cooling a part quickly will freeze in the polymer chain orientation.
Cooling quickly will reduce the amount of shrinkage in the part, and will lock in the polymer chain stresses as well.
