Mould shrinkage When you heat a thermoplastic substance and form it to a mould, it will shrink during the cooling phase. As a result the dimensions of your part will be slightly below those it had when it was initially formed. We refer to this difference as mould shrinkage. Normally, we express it in terms of inches per inch per F. It fluctuates with the design and processing factors and with separate materials. Secondary shrinkage Pressure FormingAfter unloading, your part is going to shrink because of heat loss. The item shall go from the temperature it had at unloading to room temperature. The hot part carries on shrinking as the core of the plastic or hot centre cools. This halts when the material reaches temperature equilibrium.
