Draft offset calculator

Original tool preserved
Angle alphaOffset X = H * tan(alpha)Status
Enter H and Xmax, then calculate.

From angle to offset

From target offset to angle

Formula: X = H * tan(alpha). Values above Xmax are highlighted so a designer can quickly see which draft angles exceed the allowable offset.

Recommendation combines a base draft allowance with material, texture, and depth modifiers. It is a screening estimate, not a replacement for moldflow, toolmaker review, or trial data.
