A multi-tool automotive program required different cavity and core layouts for long-form and intersecting features, with accessible setup and controlled release.
The program covered several automotive parts with different geometry: long-form parts with a curved molding path, and compact parts with intersecting features.
Each mold therefore needed its own cavity and core layout, while keeping release controlled and the tool accessible for setup and maintenance.
For the long parts, paired cavity and core views show the release strategy before mold assembly. The long curved molding path carries multiple side-action interfaces.
For the compact parts, the matching mold halves use compact cavity and core construction with localized inserts. The inserts support the compact geometry, controlled release and later maintenance access.
Where features intersect, coordinated side actions form them together, while the core system stays accessible for setup.
