Mold making has come a long way over the past 40 years. We now understand a lot more about the importance of including collaborative partners that can make the mold perform optimally. In the beginning the mold makers did it all, they developed the melt distribution channels called the runner system, built their own mold bases, and debugged the mold. Now in today’s world the two key parts of the process are typically outsourced due to the high cost of specialized equipment and the use of technology that was not available in the past.
