It's kinda like a modeling clay (or Playdoh) mold. You can meticulously sculpt a modeling clay figurine every time. Or you can make a mold for it and press the model clay into it. Using a mold you can quickly make multiple of the same base figurine and then make fine adjustments to each one from there.

I like this analogy a lot, quick and to the point. Thank you, Kasey. :)
