In a multi-cavity mould, the sprue joins the runner system.

Often such moulds are made with softer materials, the plastic parts may be removed manually or the mould may contain only one cavity in what will eventually be a multi-cavity mould.

To obtain fast cycle times and high quality, consistent parts in terms of physical properties when moulding thin complex parts, melt conveying technology continues to be developed that delivers molten polymer to a multi-cavity mould in high temperature, high pressure environments.

The latest version AutoCAST-X incorporates many innovations, including part thickness analysis, multi-cavity mold layout, multi-neck feeder design, vector element method for solidification simulation, automatic optimization of feeders and gating system, tooling cost estimation and methods report generation.
