The influence of the injection molding process on the final tooth geometry also plays a significant role, in particular for plastic materials with high shrinkage.</p><p><br/></p><p>Register today for KISSsoft's free web demo on February 23, 2021, in which Dipl.-Ing. Hanspeter Dinner and M.Sc.Eng. Ilja Tsikur will present the functions in KISSsoft that can be used to address the challenges in the plastics sector. </p><p><br/></p>
