<p>According to the present invention, there is provided a cavity insert for a molding system, the cavity insert having a deformable portion. More specifically, a cavity insert (106) is provided, the cavity insert (106) is for a molding stack (102) for use in an injection mold. The cavity insert (106) comprises a body (122) configured to be received, in use, within a cavity plate (104) of the injection mold. The body (122) defines a cavity molding surface (124) along an inner portion thereof, a circumferentially deformable portion (123), and an actuator interface (134) configured to cooperate, in use, with a complementary actuating interface (136) that is defined on a compression member (138) to generate a compressive force that selectively elastically deforms the circumferentially deformable portion (123).</p> |
