Slider and ejector-plate structure
A large base-station shell with undercuts on several faces. Sliders release the side features, and a dedicated ejector-plate layout pushes the deep shell evenly off the core.
Turn it in 3D
Designed for Volkswagen
A ribbed frame with openings and clips on every side. Sliders on several faces, some driven by hydraulic cylinders, form the side openings and clips.
Turn it in 3D
A round part with an internal thread. A motor drives a gear train that rotates the threaded core, so the thread is released without stripping.
Turn it in 3D
A tall, curved panel with long openings. The mould has to keep a long cosmetic surface smooth and evenly cooled from end to end.
Turn it in 3D
A spiral feature sits inside a side slider. A rifle bar (a helical screw) turns the core as the slider moves, so the spiral unwinds instead of being torn off.
Turn it in 3D
Slider with motor-driven unscrewing
The internal thread sits on a side feature, so the unscrewing core rides inside a slider. A motor turns the core out of the thread before the slider retracts.
Turn it in 3D
A filler housing with a deep funnel and clips around its edge. Several sliders work around the funnel to release the undercuts on each side.
Turn it in 3D
A curved pipe cannot be cored with a straight pull. An arc core-pull swings the core out along the radius of the bend.
Turn it in 3D
A curved, narrow front bumper with a window for the sensor. The parting line and sliders follow the arc so the visible face stays clean.
Turn it in 3D
Six rear-mould stations sit on one rotary table, which indexes the parts from station to station during the moulding sequence.
Turn it in 3D
Reverse (inverted) mould
In an inverted mould the core and cavity sides are swapped and ejection works from the fixed half. This keeps gates and ejector marks off the cosmetic face.
Turn it in 3D
Angled teeth lock the gear into the cavity, so it cannot be pushed straight out. The gear is released with a rotating motion that follows the helix angle.
Turn it in 3D
A long base chassis with ribs, bosses and mounting features. Sliders release the side openings while ejection is balanced along the full length.
Turn it in 3D
A deep, double-curved shell with vents and openings on several sides. Large sliders form the side openings and are laid out to protect the visible outer surface.
Turn it in 3D
A large crate with ventilated walls on all four sides. Sliders on each side form the vent pattern, and the core cooling helps the deep box release square.
Turn it in 3D
A deep, thin-walled round container. The mould is laid out so the long core cools evenly and the bucket releases cleanly from the deep draw.
Turn it in 3D
An open mesh basket with tapered walls. Sliders on each side form the mesh walls, and the cooling layout helps the long, thin ribs fill evenly.
Turn it in 3DThreads, spirals, bends and hidden undercuts that a simple open-and-close mould cannot release.
A motor and gear train rotate the threaded core out of the part.
Open in 3DThe threaded core turns out first, then the slider retracts.
Open in 3DA helical bar turns the core as the slider moves, unwinding the spiral.
Open in 3DThe core swings out along the radius of the bend.
Open in 3DRear-mould stations index round one table.
Open in 3DCore and cavity swap sides to keep marks off the cosmetic face.
Open in 3DThe gear turns along its helix angle as it is ejected.

The project was transferred from another design company with two of the original seven days left. Six senior designers took on the DFM and first-3D work and delivered both in 30 hours.
The first 3D version would normally take 15 working days. The client needed it in three. The team brought the first 3D version to 85% in 40 hours.
