and documented with all information needed for any further analysis. In particular, the effect
of holding pressure, holding time and mold geometry on product shrinkage was investigated
for amorphous polystyrene. It turned out with increasing holding pressure the in‐plane
shrinkages varied from 0.6% to 0.1%, while the product thickness increased from about 1%
to 10%. The holding time only affected product shrinkage for settings less than gate freeze …
