Develop a reliable ejection system to remove the molded parts from the mold. This includes mechanisms like ejector pins, sleeves, or hydraulic systems.
8. *Slide and Lifter Design:*
If the part has undercuts or features that prevent simple ejection, incorporate slides or lifters into the mold design to facilitate part release.
9. *Finalization and Detailing:*
Refine the mold design by adding details such as parting lines, venting, and surface finishes. Ensure that the mold components fit together precisely.
10. *Simulation and Analysis:*
Use computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools to simulate the injection molding process. Analyze factors like mold filling, cooling, and warpage to optimize the design.
