Screwdriver Mold

After previously designing a screwdriver, I began thinking about how it could be manufactured — leading me to design a mold based on that model 🧠💡. To simplify the process, I chose a single material - soft plastic 🧽 for the gripper, allowing for easier modeling and visualization of the mold concept. The mold design is approximate and based on the original screwdriver dimensions 📏. 🛠️ The complete mold assembly includes all essential components: ◾ 🧩 Top Plate ◾ 🎯 Locating Ring ◾ 🧊 Cavity Plate ◾ 🌪️ Sprue Bush ◾ 🔗 Guide Bush ◾ 🧱 Guide Pillars ◾ ⚙️ Core Plates ◾ 📌 Ejector Pins ◾ ↩️ Return Pins ◾ 🌀 Return Springs ◾ 🧱 Spacer Blocks ◾ 🧷 Ejector Plate ◾ 🧲 Ejector Back Plate ◾ 🧱 Bottom Plate ◾ 🔩 Screws 📌 All Screws used are standard-sized and commercially available. This project helped me better understand the mold-making process and component placement in mold assemblies. It was both a creative 🎨 and technical 🧑‍🔧 exercise in transitioning a product from design to potential mass production 🏭. 📐 Designed in SOLIDWORKS
