Since the injection moulding process takes place between two, in a straight line, moving plates, this is actually a 2-dimensional process. The shape can be designed perhaps three-dimensional, but if there are so-called \u201cundercuts\u201d \u00a0in the product, it requires mechanical demoulding. To this end, it may be necessary to equip a mould with angled or straight mechanical sliders.
