However, during the heat treatment process, the mold often produces deformation, warping, and dimensional errors due to factors such as uneven temperature fields, differences in cooling rates, and material properties. At the same time, since precision injection molds require extremely high dimensional accuracy and stability, any slight deformation may seriously affect the quality and performance of the final product. With the continuous development of precision injection mold technology, how to effectively control the deformation and dimensional errors of precision injection molds during the production process has become a key issue.
