3D Mold Design
Translate approved part requirements into a mold concept that can be reviewed, questioned and refined before build.
A design review should expose the important choices
The design package and approval points depend on the agreed project scope. These are the decisions buyers and engineers commonly need to inspect.
Feed and cooling
Review gate, runner and cooling concepts in relation to part appearance, geometry and resin.
Tool structure
Clarify cavities, mold base, les inserts, maintenance access and machine interfaces where relevant.
Open issues
Keep unresolved risks visible so customer and tooling teams can decide on the next revision.
See the design, then review the details
Illustrations show engineering examples and do not define a standard deliverable for every project.
From input to approval
Design is most useful when each revision can be traced back to a requirement or review decision.
Confirm the brief
Identify the drawing revision, matériaux, part function and critical acceptance points.
Review DFM findings
Resolve manufacturability questions that affect the mold concept.
Evaluate the concept
Examine 3D views and agreed supporting drawings, noting any requested changes.
Record approval
Confirm the accepted revision and open items before the next tooling stage.
Questions courantes
Can a customer review the mold design before manufacturing?
Agree the review package and approval point during project planning. The exact files depend on the project scope.
What happens when the part drawing changes?
Identify the new revision, assess its effect on the mold concept and record which design version is approved.
