Detailed Description

Molding_Rib.

Describes a rib.

In Injection Molding, a "rib" feature refers to a thin, wall-like protrusion from the main body of the part that is designed to add support or strength to the structure. Ribs are used to prevent distortion and maintain the strength of the part without increasing the amount of plastic material used, which keeps cost and weight low.

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

"Ribs"

Rib has the following basic parameters: length in mm, height in mm, thickness in mm, and draft angle in radians.

Rib dimensions
