As mentioned earlier, a boss is a circular rib, and like any rib, its walls-both inside and out-must be drafted to facilitate ejection. There are two additional points to consider in designing bosses. Other Considerations for Plastic Boss Design
Or you may find that a small amount of sink in the wall surface opposite the boss is acceptable. You can avoid the problem by reducing the height of the boss, allowing the use of a smaller-diameter cutter. When cutting a mold for a relatively tall boss, we may not be able to use a sufficiently small-diameter cutter to create walls that thin. Unlike steel tools, which can use steel core pins to form the inside diameter of a boss, FacFox forms both the outside diameter and the inside diameter of a boss with features of the aluminum mold. In some cases, FacFox’ milling process may require that the walls of the boss be thicker than the standard 40 to 60 percent mentioned above. A better way to tie the boss to the wall is with one or more ribs. Similarly, if a boss is located close to a vertical wall, it may be tempting to tie the boss to the wall by filling the space between the boss and the wall, resulting in a thick area. If a boss is part of a vertical wall, it should not create a thick area in the wall. The most common of these is to surround the boss with gussets to support and strengthen its walls. If your design requires more strength than this guideline would provide, you should consider ways to strengthen the boss without thickening its walls. Standard guidelines suggest that its wall thickness be between 40 and 60 percent of the thickness of the wall from which the boss rises. Boss Configurations Vary on Plastic PartsĪ typical boss is an open-topped cylinder, essentially a round rib. The Design Cube illustrates various boss features. The challenge: bosses should be big enough to do their job but not big enough to cause avoidable sink in the surface from where they rise. At the same time, because a boss rises from a surface, it thickens the surface at that point raising the risk of sink or development of voids as the part cools. This dictates a minimum size for the feature. In plastic parts, bosses are typically used to assist in assembly, as a receptacle for a screw or threaded insert or as the locator for a mating pin on another part.īecause of its function, a boss must have sufficient strength to do its job.
’s WordNet defines “emboss” as “raise in relief,” and that’s exactly what a boss is: a feature raised above a surface. Statement from the on today’s resignation by head coach Bill Peters. On Friday, Treliving named Ward as the team's interim head coach. Treliving said the organization did its due diligence ahead of Peters' hiring.
