What Makes a Good DFM? 6 Things We Check Before Mold Design
Before we design an injection mold, we first look carefully at the product.
A DFM review may focus on:
✓ Wall thickness
✓ Draft angles
✓ Undercuts
✓ Parting line
✓ Gate location
✓ Ejection strategy
Why do these details matter?
Because a decision made during product review can affect the mold structure, tooling process, part quality and production later.
Finding potential problems early usually gives the engineering team more room to make adjustments before the mold is built.
Good DFM starts with asking the right questions early.
