Before machining steel, confirm:
The following design principles should be considered when designing an injection mold: injection mold design guide
For optimal results in injection molding, text should be designed to balance clarity with ease of manufacturing. The general rule is to prefer text over engraved (recessed) text because it is more cost-effective to mill the text into the mold cavity than to leave raised "islands" of metal. Core Text Design Guidelines Need a specific design reviewed
Designing for manufacturability (DFM) is the first step in the molding process to ensure the tool functions reliably. A well-designed mold ensures that plastic parts fill,

Effective is a balancing act between part functionality, aesthetic requirements, and manufacturing efficiency. A well-designed mold ensures that plastic parts fill, cool, and eject predictably, minimizing defects like warping or sink marks. Core Design Principles
