Cavity plate

The cavity plate is the part of an injection mold that forms the actual shape of the molded part, including any necessary undercuts or other features.

Lifter

A lifter is a type of component used in injection molds to create undercuts or other complex features in the molded part by lifting the core pins or cavity plate.

Leader pins

Leader pins are cylindrical pins used in injection molds to align the cavity and core plates during mold assembly and operation.

Ejector pin

An ejector pin is a cylindrical rod used in injection molds to push the molded part out of the mold cavity and into the ejection system.

Mold flow analysis

Mold flow analysis is a computer simulation technique used to predict the behavior of molten plastic during injection molding, allowing for the optimization of mold design and operation.

Mold design

Mold design refers to the process of creating a detailed plan for an injection mold, including its size, shape, components, and operation.

Core plate

The core plate is the part of an injection mold that contains the core pins and forms the internal features of the molded part.

Molded product

A molded product is a finished product produced through the injection molding process, which may include multiple molded parts assembled together, such as automotive components or consumer products.

Injection molding

Injection molding is a manufacturing process in which molten plastic is injected into a mold cavity, cooled and solidified, and then ejected as a finished part.

Degating

Degating is the process of removing the sprue or runner from the molded part after it has been ejected from the mold.
