Plastic Part Design Series Episode 2 - Rib and Snap Latch Design Considerations

In this video we carry on our Intro to Plastic Part Design series by looking at some general rules to follow with things like wall thickness, rib thickness and building an understanding around design considerations. After this video we will begin designing a basic electronics housing and learn more about the process in Fusion 360.

Thanks Ahamat, I typically will just talk to the manufacturer to find out any requirements. Most places will have some design guidelines. One of the best things is to take stuff apart and see how it was designed. You might see some neat tricks used that you won't find in any books!

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign thank you a lot for the reply, I do have learn a lot from reverse engineering the plastic parts .per example redesigning my old laptop frame or motorcycle head fairing. I do love them . Thank you, have a nice day.

@@ahamatibrahimhassan3265 I hope to get into motorcycle parts soon. That is my main hobby/focus. I used to race supermoto years ago and have built several bikes, one with a one-page spread in a magazine. I have loads of projects on my todo list but there never seems to be enough time :)

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign I have participated in a design and manufacturing of a formula student car during my degree but I never work on a complete motorcycle project even though I have a huge interest. I can't wait to see. I'll follow you step by step.
