[QUOTE]Originally posted by Styrofoaman: [QB] ERTL products suck. I do not know who runs thier injection-molding presses but I know for a fact I could do better. There is NO EXCUSE for the level of flash on thier kits, nor the number of warped/voided/short-shot parts. I'm a profesional plastics man myself, I've run the injection-mold process as well as thermo/vac-forming processes. Just a quick rundown: FLASH: Caused by either too much fill pressure (SLOPPY!) warn tools (LAZY/CHEAP BASTARDS) or incorrect mold-locking pressure (SLOPPY!) WARPED: Too short a cooling cycle. Too much "Shoot the goo and pack the product" not enough quality. No excuse. VOIDS/SHORTSHOT: Sloppy process control. Someone needs to tend these presses better and reject the parts that haven't filled right! GAAAGH! -- Directly from the mesh eh? That's cool. They converted the CGI into a tool-path program for the moldmakers? I'd like to learn more about that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
