What the example shows
The photo shows a cast piece with fine surface detail. The mold question is how the cavity wall thickness, pour gate and venting keep that detail while allowing the resin to flow and release without tearing the mold.
- Design decisions
- Review the deepest undercut, the wall thickness needed for the piece size, and the pour and vent path. Agree the draft and split that let the resin piece release without distorting thin sections. Confirm the cure and demold handling for the chosen resin.
- What to send for a similar mold
- Send the master or reference model, the resin type, finished size and order quantity. Explain any thin sections, inserts or translucent requirements that change the cavity geometry.
- Prototype checks to agree
- Cast with the intended resin and check detail reproduction, bubble paths and release. Review a complete piece for surface and dimensional accuracy. Record any wall or gate change before repeating the mold.
