Mould design for manufacturability: what to check before tooling
A CAD model does not automatically guarantee that a part can be moulded and released. A manufacturability review examines the geometry against mould opening, filling and ejection.
Technical review
Plan draft, parting lines and undercuts together. Abrupt wall changes can cause uneven cooling; ribs and screw bosses deserve separate review. Gates, ejector marks and side actions should be coordinated with functional and visible surfaces. One draft angle or wall thickness does not suit every part.
Pre-production checklist
- Mark cosmetic surfaces and areas where marks are unacceptable.
- Provide assembly relationships, critical dimensions and quantities.
- Approve the model and drawing revision before cutting the tool.
