Try "Plastic Part Design for Injection Molding" by Robert A. Malloy, Hanser/Gardner Publications. ISBN 1-56990-129-5. It is the best primer on plastic part design I have found. Also try the resin supplier's design manuals. Good Luck.

GE Plastics website (

http://www.geplastics.com)

has free internet seminars on plastic shape design. It was prettty helpful, though a lot of information to absorb in an hour.

 

http://www.Ticona.com

has a european website. There is a literature section where part design manuals can be found. Specifically, press-fit, snap-fit, and screw insert information can be found. Design calculations for snap fits are there. very informative.
