What the example shows
The photo shows a character silhouette with edges and small projecting features. The design question is which features are true undercuts, and how the mold wall and release direction keep the wax piece intact on demold.
- Design decisions
- List the undercut features and agree the release direction for each. Review wall thickness for the candle diameter, the wick channel, and any textured surface. Confirm the wax type and cooling before fixing the cavity geometry.
- What to send for a similar mold
- Send the character reference, finished height and diameter, wax type, wick size and order quantity. Mark any fine facial or logo detail that must survive release.
- Prototype checks to agree
- Cast with the intended wax and check release, surface and wick alignment. Review a complete candle for distortion and detail. Agree any change to wall, draft or undercut treatment before repeat production.
