Draft for sprue


The conventional design of flow paths typically requires that a draft of 4 degrees be provided for the sprue. In practice, however, no problem arises even if the angle is set to 1 degree. If the draft is set to 1 degree when the gate diameter is 4 mm and the sprue length 50 mm, the weight can be decreased by as much as 40% compared with the case in which the draft is 4 degrees. A review of the draft will lead to shortening the runner.
