Custom Precision Collapsible Core


Custom Collapsible Cores for Complex Internal Mold Features

Nagatsu’s precision-engineered collapsible cores enable high-accuracy molding of complex internal undercuts such as O-ring grooves and snap-fit details.
Customizable, dimensionally stable, and compatible with ejector systems—ideal for lens barrel and high-precision applications.

Precision-Engineered Collapsible Cores by NAGATSU

Nagatsu’s custom-designed Collapsible Cores provide a cutting-edge solution for molding internal undercut features that are difficult or impossible to demold using traditional methods.
These cores are ideal for applications such as O-ring grooves, slots, snap-fit details, and lens barrels—eliminating the need for complex unscrewing mechanisms and enabling clean, efficient molding of intricate geometries.

Compared to off-the-shelf options, Nagatsu’s collapsible cores offer superior design flexibility and compatibility with additional mold structures such as ejector pins.
They are tailored to exact user specifications and achieve precision tolerances beyond catalog-grade components—making them ideal for high-performance manufacturing in fields like optics and electronics.
