Twisted ribs are good when you don't need to demold part easier. For CNC billet machining it's a great idea!

[@forgeproductdevelopment]

You are absolutely right. This design definitely not optimized for injection molding. Even billet machining would be tedious unless you had more than three axis.

I enjoy your videos, and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and thinking. Rock on!

[@forgeproductdevelopment]

I appreciate that!

Thank you Josh. Learned a lot and solved my problem to boot. Pleasure doing business with you.

[@forgeproductdevelopment]

Any time. I look forward to seeing how the full build turns out.

Thank you Josh😍

[@forgeproductdevelopment]

You are very welcome!

insted going for the build surface, can we just sketch the entity and extrude it and then extrude cut it according the shape, I think that process will be easy, just my thought.

[@forgeproductdevelopment]

Hmm maybe, will that work flow create the twist in the rib?
