COLLAPSIBLE CORES DURA Core Collapsible Cores MULTIPLE VERSIONS DEPENDING ON PART GEOMETRY
The DURACORE can be designed with diverse segment options, providing design flexibility to ensure sufficient collapse for undercuts. The number of segments required is determined by the part size, part shape and the undercut. We offer options of 8, 10, 12, and 16 segments to accommodate a broad spectrum of part sizes, with diameters ranging from 15mm to 150mm.

DESIGN TIPS FOR COLLAPSIBLE CORE MOLDS
• Use tabs, ridges or indentations to lock parts in place, preventing movement during collapsing of the core. • Sink parts into the B-side for increased hold area and stability. • If the part has a radius at the bottom, avoid placing the parting line at the radius’s tangent point. Instead, sink the part further to secure enough bearing surface. • Unsecured parts may damage the core and result in defective molded parts. LOCK THE PART SECURELY IN POSITION DURING COLLAPSE OF THE CORE
