The mold part line will need to be located in a way that splits the draft in order to minimize it. If no draft is acceptable due to design considerations, a side action mold may be required. Textures and Lettering Whether to incorporate identifying information or to include as an aesthetic...
Injection Molding Molds and Tooling Design:The mold consists of two primary components, the injection mold (A plate) and the ejector mold (B plate). Plastic resin enters the mold through a sprue in the injection mold, the sprue bushing is to seal tightly against the nozzle of the injection ...
This is due to the high level of expertise required to design and manufacture a high-quality mold that can produce accurately thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of parts. Molds are usually CNC machined out of aluminum or tool steel and then finished to the required standard. Apart from th...

By using the same manufacturing method including mold design and materials, these parts can be tested in the field and ensure the designs are ready to be produced at scale. The 3D printed mold designs can then be easily adapted for tool-grade steel during mass production. Using 3D printed m...
Some applications may require a bridge – or quick turn - tool, but that’s not always the case. By working with the manufacturer you plan to scale production with early in the design stages, you may find that you can avoid this step altogether by focusing on DFM and mold flow analysis...
Less than 3° draft causes the steel to squeeze together when mold closes making the mold harder to pull apart and creating drag marks on the part Tip 5: Do not design bad steel conditions When envisioning steel required to create part shape, avoid very sharp, tall, and fragile steel condi...
Injection mold design is integral to manufacturing. Dassault Systèmes shapes the future of injection molding with cutting edge CAD technologies.
The injection mold itself can cost thousands of dollars. Mold cavitation is related to part size and design. If your part is relatively simple, single cavity molds are usually more affordable. However, if the part's geometry allows it, it is preferable to go for multiple-cavity molds to ...
