How to make alphabets on injection mold?
(OP)
Hi guys
I hope someone could let me know how the mold maker machine alphabets on the tool so that the plastics (finish product) come out as the words protrude into the surface. Could they do it without an insert?
Thanks in advance.

If it is a steel mould, they cut the shape into the steel. If the steel is hardened the burn it in with EDM.
If it is cut directly into the mould, it is more difficult to change at a later date, that is if it needs to be changed.

This leaves upstanding lettering on the tool which leaves impressed lettering on the part.
Changeable inserts made by the same technique.
