# Why Do Injection-Molded Parts Warp After They Leave the Mold?

We’re seeing molded parts come out looking acceptable, then develop a slight bow or twist as they cool. The issue is more noticeable on wider pieces, but it doesn’t happen on every production run.

For people who work with [injection-molded parts](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/117743/what-usually-causes-injection-molded-plastic-parts-to-warp-after-cooling), what clues help separate uneven cooling from material choice, packing pressure, or mold design? I’m also curious what measurements you record during a run so the next adjustment is based on evidence rather than trial and error.
