Mold Inserts
Inserts are parts of the mold that are created separately from the mold cavity block. Inserts are inserted in the block to achieve a desired cavity shape or cooling effect. An insert will only assist heat transfer if a cooling channel is located in or near the insert. Inserts can be used to modify the rate of cooling in specific areas of the mold.
