Decision notes
| Best used when | Main risk to clarify |
|---|---|
| Molds that increase output by producing several identical parts per shot, with repeatability and balance concerns. | Part repeatability, runner balance and inspection plan decide the route. |
Buyer tradeoffs
| Tradeoff | Buyer impact |
|---|---|
| Output | Higher cavity count can lower part cost when demand is stable. |
| Balance | Runner, gate and cooling balance become central quality risks. |
| Inspection | Cavity-to-cavity variation must be measured, not assumed. |
Acceptance signals
Each cavity has dimensional and cosmetic evidence.Runner balance and fill behavior are acceptable.The buyer understands maintenance and spare insert needs.
