Dimensions and sizing
External product size, usable internal space and overall mould size are different. State reference faces, units and critical tolerances in the drawing. For tapered or curved volumes include depth and base sections as well as the opening, then verify finished dimensions on a sample.
Product-specific checks
Wide flat castings need attention to warping, base flatness and rim stiffness. Support the mould on a level surface and check the finished part on a flat reference. Decorative tray production does not establish food-contact suitability; verify material and coating documentation separately.
Application and sample checks
Define finished dimensions, casting material and critical surfaces first. Record production variables and reassess approval whenever the material or master changes; an earlier sample does not automatically validate a revised process.
