    Thermo-forming of 3D Laminate

    I am getting a web on the outside corner of a part. How do I set blocking to eliminate the web? I have attached a picture to clarify what I mean...notice the crease (webbing). I have also included pictures of the problem area. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

    You need to positin you blocking to stretch the material and have it pull back in. I would put web chasers aka blocking on the left and right of the corner. Start high and then whittle it down. Just be mindfull of to high will thin the corner significantly. How much flange and bleed for trimming is on the mold. Thin tall web chaser may be better than blocks and you could only need one on one side.
