      <p class="para_topic">In complex mold assemblies, you may discover incorrect positions or dimensions after you finish the mold structure design. Parting Check makes it easier to find interferences by identifying intersections and mapping the color and attribute of the faces in the shrink part to corresponding contacting faces in the mold part based on touching or hard interference.</p>
