    Importance Of A Mold Base:

    The mold foundation is the most important component since it is the structure for a whole set of molds. This base consists of a wide variety of steel plates and components. The manufacturing of mold begins with selecting a suitable mold base, which is a very significant phase because the size of the selected mold bases directly affects the quality of the mold.

    However, if you do not choose the mold foundation correctly, the mold will fail in the mold creation process, and the mold base itself will be useless.

    When deciding on a mold base, various factors, including component structure, mold parting requirements, and economic factors, should be considered. The following outlines the general guidelines for choosing a mold foundation.

    Selecting A Side Gate Mold Base:

    While selecting this mold base, look for the following:

    Simple construction

    Criteria for a surface finish that aren’t very stringent

    Permission for gate marks on the side

    Absence of any additional specialized constructions

    Note: It is preferable to choose the side gate mold base instead of the pinpoint gate mold base if the side gate mold bases are applicable. You can use this side gate mold with the one-step splitting mold.
