The from-photos page exists. This URL is the millimetre gap a phone still hides: depth, undercut, and island width. A caliper in the same plane is the fix.
RUUIPON cuts custom silicone molds in Shenzhen since 2018 for brand and Shopify buyers. MOQ 20 trays per design. Complete RFQs typically get a reply in about 24 hours. Prototype is commonly 3-7 business days after CAD lock. Drawing deposit ~$50 USD when we must model cavities.
Photos Compress Depth
If the first sample looked fine, wait until later cavities before you approve a production sheet. Restock is where this failure shows.
