What is the typical use of the Draftcommand in mold and die design?

The typical use of the Draft command in mold and die design primarily relates to creating a slope on surface features of a part. This slope is essential for facilitating the easy removal of the molded part from the mold. When parts are created using injection molding processes, they need to be designed to allow for smooth ejection from the mold without causing damage to the part or the mold itself.

The Draft command effectively allows designers to apply a taper to vertical surfaces of the model, which can significantly reduce friction and the risk of jamming during ejection. A proper draft angle is critical; it generally ranges from 1 to 3 degrees depending on the material and the complexity of the part, ensuring that parts can be produced efficiently and reliably.

Other options like color, texture, and pressure, while relevant in the context of mold and die design, do not directly address the aspect of part removal and the practical application of the Draft command, which is fundamentally about creating the necessary slopes for successful manufacturing processes.
