Before we get started we should first understand the goal of designing a part for Injection Molding. There are some key and common terms that are important like Draft and Parting line. So we are going to borrow one of our public videos from our design for injection molding game controller course to help us all be on the same page.

The key ideas we need to understand for this course are:

• Draft - The angle of faces relative to a pull direction.
• Parting Line - An edge on a model that has a transition from positive to negative draft and is the split between each mold half.

If you know what those are feel free to skip this section. If not make sure you check out the common terms video and what molds look like.
