Draft Angle In general, 2 degrees of draft should be the standard in your part design to maintain uniform wall thickness. Plastic parts should be designed with draft to prevent sticking and ejector pin push marks on the show surface during the molding process. Also, an adequate amount of draft is needed for surfaces that will be textured. Plastic parts should be designed with draft to prevent sticking and ejector pin push marks on the show surface during the molding process. Don’t forget ribs should not exceed 60% of wallthickness.
