Cant show you my latest project, but this will give you a good idea of what I do 
Will delete this in a few days before I get in trouble

Feck me, two shot moulding with a hinge en mass! Thats awesome

what material are you working with?

No material atm really, just some random plastic (PP perhaps?)

PP is ok, think about acetyl or a filled material for durability

Its not going to be PPed, its just a cad project. I have however done an injection moulding project and did use PP but it got pretty bad shrinkage as it was only air cooled moulding (even across a 3mm section with a rib

That's a single cube, a double cube allows for a lot more versatility
Exposed sides can be loaded with inserts or other parts for over-moulding with multi materials or device assembly
Mine will involve a form of in mould labelling and 2k injection + 6 axis fanuc robots with camera drive
For a bit of trivia, these guys have developed a turning unit based on the turret mechanism of the Leopard tank. It will spin the centre section(s) with servo driven precision in .10 of a second

No probs I understand, but you need to get the material right to design fits and finish
PP does shrink a bit (1 to 2 % on section and grade) but is a very easy material to work with.
If you ever get stuck

Work with solidworks day in and out so similar ish....

I bloody hate mould tools though.

Btw PET OR PPS are pretty nice materials.
