Lesson 9: Warpage Due to Fiber Orientation

In this lesson, you will learn how fiber orientation plays a significant role in the shrinkage and warpage of a molded part.

This lesson covers how to analyze fiber orientation results in different axes, how fiber orientation results in one axis relate to the orientation in the other axes, how fiber orientation on the part surface can differ from core fiber orientation, and how to compare fiber orientation results with shrinkage results to clearly understand part warpage behavior.
