Hello, I'm new to injection mold. I found this pen cap is a perfect circular shape. The curve at the parting line is perfectly smooth. If there is even a 0.5 degree draft, the curve at the parting line is already not as smooth as this. Anyone knows if there is a draft in here or sometimes drafting is not necessary? Or some grinding smooths it in a post treatment process? As I can barely see the parting line.
Thanks!
Is there a draft in this injection molded pen cap?

Most of the injection molded parts I have designed have had draft. You can get away without draft for very short pull distances with certain materials. One part I did had about 1/8" with no draft for a press fit with a tiny little check valve. The part you are looking at would be very hard to measure accurately to determine if there is draft. Take a half inch or 12 mm and multiply by the sin of 1/2 degree and see what you get. With high enough clamping pressure, sharp enough corners, and a really excellent mold maker, you can minimize parting line mismatch. Some do post grinding. All depends on circumstances.

For deep parts, draft should be added for molds.
For very shallow parts, close to a board, no draft is ok.
We do custom plastic injection molding as well as molds in China.
