The Recommended Processing tab of the Thermoplastics material dialog is used to specify the recommended processing conditions for the thermoplastics material.
| The temperature of the mold at the plastic-metal interface, where the plastic touches the mold. | |
| The temperature of the molten plastic, or melt, as it starts to flow into the cavity. | |
| The Mold Temperature area displays the range of mold wall temperatures that can be used for the material. | |
| The Melt Temperature area displays the range of melt temperatures that can be used for the material. | |
| The highest temperature recommended by the manufacturer for the material melt process settings. | |
| The temperature at which a material is rigid enough to withstand ejection without permanent deformation or severe marking from the mold ejector pins. | |
