Explanation:
I find that demoulding is more common in industry. I don't use unmoulding for my technical translations, though it's clearly in use in everyday English.

agree  John Speese: I agree with Karen. I use demolding (with that spelling because I'm American) too. It comes up a lot in patents.

agree  B D Finch: Yes, it's probably about avoiding ambiguity. "Unmoulding" could also mean returning what was moulded to its pre-moulding state.
