1) Drafts (or taper) in a mold, facilitates part removal from the mold. The amount of draft angle depends on the depth of the part in the mold, and its required end use function. 

  2)  The draft is in the offset angle in a direction parallel to the mold opening and closing. 

  3) It is best to allow for as much draft as possible for easy release from the mold. As a nominal recommendation, it is best to allow 1 to 2 degrees of draft, with an additional 1.5° min. per 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) depth of texture.

  4) The mold parting line can be relocated to split the draft in order to minimize it. If no draft is acceptable due to design considerations, then a side action may be required at a greater expense in tooling.
