About this result
The Confidence of fill result indicates this area of the part may be difficult to fill with plastic. This is because the melt temperature at the point you selected is too low.
The Temperature at flow front result is one factor used to determine the Confidence of fill result. If the temperature in an area is too low, the Confidence of fill result will be yellow or red in that area.
What problems can low temperature cause?
If the Temperature at flow front result is too low in a thin area of the part, hesitation or short shot may occur.
If it is too low in an area where weld lines are present, the weld lines may appear worse, and may be structurally weaker.
What to do next
There are a number of ways to improve the confidence of this area filling, and ensure part quality is acceptable.
- Alter part thickness
- Low melt temperature can be caused by hesitation. To avoid hesitation, increase the thickness of this area.
- Alter the polymer injection location
- Move the polymer injection location closer to the problem area, or adding additional injection points. This will improve the likelihood of all sections of a part filling and being of acceptable quality.
- Alter the processing conditions of the currently selected material
- The recommended processing conditions can be changed. To improve this Confidence of fill result, increase the melt temperature of the current material.
- Select a different material
- Select a material with a higher melt temperature.
