Undercuts Design Guide
An undercut is any indentation or protrusion that prohibits part ejection from a straight-pull mold. It is a feature that cannot be captured with the cavity and core alone. Though they add complexity to a mold and can increase production costs, parts sometimes require undercuts and side actions to achieve the expected fit, form, and function.
