The nominal wall thickness for this part is 3-mm. The volumetric shrinkage for this material typically ranges from about 0.5% to 4.25% for a part with this thickness. However a smaller variation in shrinkage is preferred. The maximum shrinkage is approaching 5 percent and the minimum in the nominal wall is about 1.7%. It would be better if most of the part was within 2% shrinkage. The main problem is the higher shrinkage at the end of fill.
