Defining Material and Shrinkage

In this section, you define the material and the shrinkage.

1. On the ribbon, click Mold Layout tab > Mold Layout panel > Select Material.
2. From the list of Manufacturers, select SABIC Innovative Plastics US, LLC.
3. From the list of Trade names, select Cycoloy C2950 HF-71676.
4. Click OK.
   Note: The material is also listed in the Commonly used materials panel if you completed the General Mold Workflow tutorial.
5. In the Mold Design browser, double-click the Exp-Mobile Top node to activate it.
6. On the ribbon, click Core/Cavity tab > Plastic Part panel > Part Shrinkage.
7. In the Part Shrinkage dialog box, notice that the shrinkage range is between .21% and .72%. The system has assumed an isotropic value of .49%. Maintain the default isotropic shrinkage value and click OK. There is no need to review the shrinkage value of the Exp-Mobile Bottom model because the default .49% value is appropriate.
8. Click Cancel to close the dialog box.
9. On the Exit panel, click Finish Core/Cavity.
