One of the important factors in the design of injection molded product is design for injection mold gate. Generally, direct or valve gates are applied to flat plate parts in the case of flat plate parts among various injection molded parts. The side gate is sometimes used because it can not be applied for the purpose of the parts of usage of aesthetic point. When the side gate is applied, dimensional deviation occurs in flow direction because the closer the gate is, the higher the injection pressure is received. In this paper, I would like to discuss what to consider when applying side gates to flat plate injection molded parts.
