Junctions<br />

Junctions should be configured so that no sharp internal<br />

edges or accumulations of material occur. For this reason,<br />

sloping and parallel walls should be joined to each other<br />

wherever possible at right angels.<br />

Mould and draught<br />

Mould and draught angles are only required in exceptional<br />

exist it is necessary to provide for a slight conicity or angle.<br />

Gates<br />

Where possible, a suitable even outer surface at the thickest<br />

cross-section should be selected for the gates. This constellation<br />

will permit them to be separated off more economically<br />

later. The gating surfaces can serve as gauge or reference<br />

points for subsequent machining.<br />
