Plastics Design Resources 1

[eugeneva]

Hi All,

Have been doing sheet metal design for a while, and am now starting to get into more plastics design.

Was wondering if there were any good web sites or books anyone could recommend to get me started from Basics upwards.

Thanks in advance !

Stef

Stef,
Don't judge me as a boring person but....The GE site is absolutely brilliant for what you need...

I'd advise you to print it all out as it is a good reference.

You will have to register to access though.

Another very good site, Thanks Soupcat!

This site gives alot of detail for actual manufacturing eg. Datasheets for different plastics and engineering calculators.
