This enclosure is used to house a smoke evacuation system for an electro-surgical procedure. The material is a fire-retardant ABS/PVC blend and is painted. The part demands a very severe draw-ratio to get plastic all the way into the bottom. It is a female mold, and there are many undercuts, the one in the rear of the part being very deep.
The key to making this part successfully is very sophisticated tooling mold which employs "lifter core-pulls" around the perimeter and the entire back section of the mold as a core-pull to create the undercut at the rear. In addition, in order to get material into the rear section, we have employed an articulating plug assist.
