warpage Explanation: Warpage can be defined as a dimensional distortion in a molded product after it is ejected from the mold at the end of the injection molding process. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2013-09-01 16:00:32 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I wouldn't be so sure about shrinkage. These are two different things, and I think that (only) warpage fits here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2013-09-01 19:08:40 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Most of my dictionaries also give both options; nevertheless, there is a difference. As one website puts it, uniform change in size is normally called shrink, and nonuniform change in size causes warp (Google warpage vs shrinkage for details). |
