Most of the plastics products have been manufactured by injection molding. Molding trouble in injection-molded parts is caused by changing a molding product and molding process condition, etc. In this study, warpage in the injection molded part have been studied. Specimens are rectangular flat shape with and without ribs. Non-crystalline resins (ABS+GF30%, PC+GF30%) and crystalline resins (PP+GF30%, PA66+GF30%) were used for material. Flat shape ribs showed higher warpage than flat shape without rib by 10 to 41%. the specimens with ribs that are located parallel to flow direction has higher warpage than the specimens with rib that are located perpendicular to flow direction by 11 to 50%. crystalline resins have higher warpage than non-crystalline resins by 22 to 78%. Warpage decreases as packing time increases as injection temperature increases.
