Example Mold Base Configuration

An example of a typical mold base configuration displaying some of the components is shown below:

The default mold base configuration consists of three types of sub-assembles:

  • Fixed Side: the static side (all cavity related components are added here)

  • Movable Side: the moving side (all core related components are added here)

  • Ejection system: all the ejection components are added here.

An additional sub-assembly type can be added according to the engineering requirements:

Each of these sub-assemblies consists of active and Catalog (standard) parts. The active parts are assigned within an active sub-assembly.

Injected Model

The final plastic product, which is defined from the Active PartsActive Partsthe parts of the mold that touch the plastic during the injection process, is called the Injected Model. This is sometimes called the Cavity by mold makers.
