Parting line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A parting line in moldmaking is the place where two or more parts of the mold meet[1]. At times, either because the mold halves do not meet with enough precision or because injection pressure is high, material will creep into the space between the molds. This material is generally called molding flash or simply flashing. At times the parting line shows up as a raised line around the product (witness mark) on commodity products such as toys.
In engineering drawing, parting line is often abbrivated as PL. ASME's Y14.8 standard specifies a symbol for parting line[2].
