Design Guidelines
Side action support for simple undercuts
The Protomold process supports simple undercuts in your part geometry. Here are some specifics you will need to keep in mind:
- The maximum side core dimensions are summarized in the following tables:
|
≤ 8.419 in |
≤ 2.377 in |
≤ 1.445 in |
|
|
≤ 1.523 in |
≤ 1.445 in |
|
|
≤ 1.038 in |
≤ 1.639 in |
|
|
≤ 0.553 in |
≤ 1.736 in |
|
≤ 1.266 in |
≤ 1.891 in |
≤ 2.9 in |

≤ 36.70 mm |
|
|
≤ 38.68 mm |
≤ 36.70 mm |
|
|
≤ 26.37 mm |
≤ 41.63 mm |
|
|
≤ 14.05 mm |
≤ 44.09 mm |
|
≤ 32.16 mm |
≤ 48.03 mm |
≤ 73.66 mm |
- Our process can support up to four side actions per mold, and they all need to be at the parting line. Side pulls must be perpendicular to the primary (A-B sides) pull direction.
- Side Action molds that support simple undercuts are available with our standard lead time of 10-15 business days. In some cases faster deliveries are available.
