What information need to be taken into account when submitting a query for diecasting dies or injection molding molds?
Depending on if the mold or die is designed for one shaped part (1×1 cavity) or two equivalent shaped parts (1×2 cavities) or two different shaped parts in one mold or die (1+1 cavities), the possible part yield can be higher (1×2 cavities), or the mold or die costs for different parts can be reduced by combining the parts in a single mold or die (1+1 cavities). The possible combinations are dictated by the size of the part, the required tolerances of the part, and the maximum possible die or mold size. If the tolerances are tight, individual dies or molds are generally recommended. The tooling costs can be substantially reduced by planning the die or mold.
