The location of the gate is important to the way the polymer flows into the plastic basket injection mold impression. Other factors must also be considered when selecting a gate location, including:
Aesthetic considerations for molding;
De-gate requirements for forming;
Complexity of molding design;
Mold temperature requirements;
the nature of the polymer to be processed;
Polymer volume and feed rate fed through the gate;
The meaning and location of the resulting weld lines;
Possible locations and effects of gas entrapment due to filling curves.
After considering all the previous points, it is clear that the location of the gate must be determined relatively early before design build begins. If the component is fed conventionally, i.e. not a hot runner, the gate location options are further limited due to the limitations of the two-plate mold design.
There is a limitation because the gate must be on a single plane around the mold parting line. When encountering gating requirements outside the scope of a two-plate design, the mold designer can choose a three-plate or runnerless mold design format to obtain the desired gate location.
