17.Parting Line & Parting Surface

1.the parting surface splits part into cavity and core side,a quality parting surface is the basics of a good mold design.
2. Stepped P/S
2.1  P/L(Parting line) extracted from maximum profile,which has a good part appearance and bad machinability:

2.2  simplify the P/S,parting line left on part;

2.3  P/L is a flat surface,good machinability (if approved by customer):

5.P/L  Along the Side Slots
5.1Type_A: preferred if draft angle >3º (Min.),
5.2 Type_B:applied if draft angle<3º (Min.),
5.3 the minimum two side shutting off angles of type_B is 3º:

7. Holes in the draft direction
7.1 coring out,core pins fixed to A or B side per part design;
7.2 one radius added to core pins and the std. pins used.
