Furthermore, the design of the molds can be more straightforward with optimum wall thickness, facilitating easier ejection and reducing the likelihood of defects during casting. This simplification contributes to a more efficient production line and lowers the overall manufacturing costs.

The draft angle is the taper added to the mold walls of a die cast. It allows for the easy removal of the finished part from the mold without causing damage. When a cast part is produced, it tends to shrink slightly as it cools. If the mold is perfectly vertical with no draft angle, the part may become stuck, leading to potential defects and damage during extraction. The draft angle facilitates smooth ejection, ensuring that the part can slide out without hindrance.
