Hello,

New member here looking for some insight or resources for learning about tooling design and construction with transparent ABS. More specifically, tooling that can be used with both standard and transparent ABS to make the same part from either material.

I have searched online and not found much other than the most general comments about how transparent parts are more sensitive to visual defects. I would also imagine that more consideration has to where you put parting lines, gates, etc since less is hidden.

Can anyone give me more information on what special consideration is needed when designing and constructing a mold to be used with standard as well as transparent ABS?

Thank You In Advance,

Dugan
