Mold Design & Tooling
Tool Layout · Gating · Cooling Channels · DFM
A great part design is useless if the tool cannot run reliably at cycle. We engineer injection mold layouts, side actions, slides, sub-gates, and cooling circuits before steel cutting begins, preventing costly tool modifications and warranty sinkholes.
Sink marks, weld lines, and warpage eliminated through wall thickness optimization
Parting line placement aligned with aesthetic split lines
Side action and lifter planning for complex internal undercuts
Balancing runner and gate sizes for uniform cavity filling
Draft angle map, thickness gradient scan, and undercut analysis on final part CAD.
Generate clean shut-offs and parting surfaces matching the parting line.
Submarine gates, edge gates, pin/blade ejectors positioned away from cosmetic faces.
Full 3D mold layout with BOM, steel grades, and critical machining tolerances for moldmakers.
