Contents
You can create a parting surface, which is extruded from parting lines, to separate the mold cavity from the core. You must create a parting surface to create a tooling split.
Parting surfaces split the mold cavity from the core. You create parting lines and shut off surfaces before creating parting surfaces.
The interlock surface surrounds the perimeter of the parting surfaces in a nearly perpendicular direction. As with all drafted faces, the interlock surface drafts away from the parting line.
