Hello papyblaise,

The example I am looking at that doesn't have too many cuts/shapes is a sewing thread cone like this:

My goal is to design the mould to make the plastic cone.

it is not so simple: on the left there is a mold at 10,000 $ and on the right at 100,000 $ and that I do not know how to do without consulting
the differance :?: ? the one on the left is closed at the small diameter or if it was open from both ends, the one on the right is closed at the large diameter
