What design limitations exist when molding complex shapes in WPC outdoor bar stools?
Molding complex shapes in Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) outdoor bar stools presents several design limitations. First, WPC's lower flexibility compared to pure plastics restricts intricate detailing and sharp angles. The material's tendency to warp or shrink during cooling can also distort complex geometries. Additionally, WPC's fibrous composition makes it difficult to achieve smooth, curved surfaces without visible seams or imperfections. Tooling costs for complex molds are higher due to WPC's abrasive nature, which wears down molds faster. Finally, the need for uniform wall thickness to ensure structural integrity limits design freedom for hollow or highly contoured shapes. These factors must be carefully balanced to create durable, aesthetically pleasing WPC bar stools for outdoor use.
