vormiõõnsus

Vormiõõnsus is an Estonian term that translates to "mold cavity" or "cavity mold" in English. It refers to the hollow space within a mold that defines the shape of the final product. This cavity is created by the precise machining of two or more mold parts, which come together to form the desired shape when closed. The material, typically molten plastic, metal, or a thermosetting resin, is injected or poured into this void. Upon cooling or curing, the material solidifies, taking on the form of the mold cavity.

The design and accuracy of the vormiõõnsus are critical to the quality and dimensional accuracy of the manufactured part. Any imperfections, such as scratches, parting lines, or incorrect dimensions in the cavity, will be replicated in every produced item. Mold makers use specialized tools and techniques, including computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), to create intricate and precise vormiõõnsused. The surface finish of the cavity can also influence the surface finish of the final product. A smooth cavity will generally result in a smooth product surface, while a textured cavity will impart that texture to the molded part.
