Plane size affects plate size, machining time, mold base standard, and often the required injection machine tonnage.
Depth changes core length, cooling layout, ejection stability, and the risk of deflection and warpage.
Undercuts typically add slides/lifters, precision fits, extra steel, and more assembly time—often a top cost driver.
More cavities increase machining + balancing + QC demands, but reduce cost per part at volume.
Steel selection impacts cost, polishability, corrosion resistance, and lifetime cycles.
Hot runners raise mold cost but reduce scrap and improve process stability for many parts.
Cosmetic and high-gloss surfaces add polishing time, tighter handling, and stricter tool marks control.
