Buyer situation
CAD, drawings, samples or supplier issue notes that explain the starting condition.
Main risk
A part with a side undercut needed the slider mechanism and wear points reviewed before committing to a long production run.
Engineering decision
DFM, tooling assumptions and sample evidence were reviewed before the buyer committed to the next correction or release step.
Sample gate
T1 or re-trial samples would be checked against dimensions, appearance, fit and issue status.
Evidence
Actuation method, angle pin wear allowance and maintenance interval were defined before the mold entered production.
Buyer takeaway
A useful mold case connects the buyer problem to a tooling decision and a measurable release gate.
Evidence matrix
| Evidence area | What the buyer should see |
|---|---|
| Starting files | CAD, drawing, sample photos or supplier issue notes that explain why the project needed review. |
| Mold decision | Steel, cavity, gate, parting-line, slider, insert or export handoff assumptions. |
| Sample gate | T1 sample photos, dimensions, appearance notes, assembly fit and issue list. |
| Release proof | Dimensional or FAI record, material confirmation, correction log and acceptance status. |
