Week 8 - Challenge 6 - Core & Cavity Design

CORE AND CAVITY IN PLASTIC :

CORE:

The core is the male part which forms the internal shape of molding. A core is a preformed, bonded, sand insert placed into the mold to shape the interior of a casting or a part of the casting that cannot be shaped by the pattern. Cores are frequently used to create hollow sections or cavities in a casting

CAVITY:

The cavity is the female part which forms external shape of molding.A mold is a hollow form typically made from stainless steel that has plastic injected into it to manufacture a plastic part. The plastic is inserted into the mold cavity, which is a hole in the mold shaped like the desired part.
