Use the Snap-Fit Calculator to create your own snap-fit designs. The
software calculates stress and strength requirements employing an algorithm
developed by BASF. The BASF algorithm revises classical physics theory
on cantilever stresses in light of the advent of plastics. The goal is
to provide more accurate calculations based on the unique, real-world
performance characteristics of plastics compared with non-plastic materials.
