You can easily fix this by either increasing the melt temperature or choosing a different resin with a lower viscosity. Also, better control over mold and melt temperatures throughout the process can help ensure the right viscosity.

If not, it will become trapped in the mold, causing inadequacies. Checking your vents or adding more vents during the design phase may help alleviate this problem.

Another mold-design problem that can cause a short shot is an imbalance in the mold or inadequate dimensions of runners and gates. Inconsistent mold thickness can lead to temperature control issues as well.

A similar cause is inconsistencies in the material. This means that not all of the resin will fill the mold cavity as intended. For this problem, you should do quality control checks on the storage of the resin or change sources to get a more consistent product.

Most components are made using plastic injection molding. This is an efficient and reliable method, but there are a few common challenges that technicians can face, including short-shot plastic injection molding issues.
