      <p class="para_topic">The universal mold base system is intended for construction of custom mold bases.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The universal mold base assembly contains the maximum number of plates that would be useful for 99% of injection molds, except stack molds. The universal mold base is divided into eight configurable mold base zones.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">To configure and install a universal mold base, set the plate stack configuration for each zone and the plate thickness for each plate in the Mold Base Management dialog edit parameter field.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Mold lengths and widths are controlled by the mold_l and mold_w parameters. The plate heights are controlled by the parameters shown in uppercase letters adjacent to the plates.</p>
