Describes a screw boss. In injection molding, the Screw Boss is essentially a cylindrical protrusion with a threaded hole that is designed to receive a screw or threaded fastener. This feature serves as a reliable point of attachment for assembling various parts together, such as attaching the plastic part to another component or securing multiple plastic parts together.
The main purpose of the Screw Boss is to provide a durable and convenient method for fastening parts, eliminating the need for additional hardware like nuts or inserts. By integrating the Screw Boss directly into the mold design, it becomes a permanent part of the plastic component, enhancing the overall strength and integrity of the assembly. More...

Detailed Description

Describes a screw boss. In injection molding, the Screw Boss is essentially a cylindrical protrusion with a threaded hole that is designed to receive a screw or threaded fastener. This feature serves as a reliable point of attachment for assembling various parts together, such as attaching the plastic part to another component or securing multiple plastic parts together.
The main purpose of the Screw Boss is to provide a durable and convenient method for fastening parts, eliminating the need for additional hardware like nuts or inserts. By integrating the Screw Boss directly into the mold design, it becomes a permanent part of the plastic component, enhancing the overall strength and integrity of the assembly.

Shape() method returns ModelData::Shell for this class.
