Types of Molds We are Offering
Explore the finesse of our mold making services, designed for intricate molds and precise specifications. Become part of our satisfied clientele and discover the superior craftsmanship of our mold-making expertise.
Plastic Injection Mold
Plastic injection molds, crafted from aluminum or steel, are instrumental in producing parts from a diverse array of plastics, such as nylons, acrylics, elastomers, and reinforced materials like glass-filled polyamide. Custom plastic molds typically exhibit a lifespan ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000 shots.
Metal Injection Mold
Metal injection molding (MIM) involves utilizing a feedstock composed of a blend of metal and binder in the injection molding process. Typically, metal injection molds are crafted from tool steel to endure the metal injection process, although aluminum is also a viable option.
Die Casting Mold
Diverging from conventional prototyping specialists, we offer metal casting molds and collaborate with partners to deliver a low-volume casting service. These molds, usually forged from hardened steel, facilitate the production of parts from aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and various other non-ferrous metals.
Investment Casting Mold
We specialize in producing cost-effective investment casting molds through a process involving 3D printing of a wax pattern, followed by encasement in ceramic. These ceramic molds serve as the foundation for fabricating metal cast parts, accommodating materials such as aluminum, zinc, magnesium, stainless steel, and beyond.
Extrusion Mold
Our metal die molds are versatile, facilitating aluminum extrusions of alloys like 6061 and 6063. Additionally, we manufacture molds tailored for plastic extrusions, supporting materials such as polystyrene, nylon, polypropylene, and polyethylene.
Sheet Metal Mold
Drawing from our extensive experience in fabricating sheet metal molds for stamping and bending, we possess the expertise to produce high-quality sheet metal prototypes.

Mold Making Processes
1、Design For Manufacturing
Upon confirmation of the mold order by the customer, we initiate an initial analysis of the parts to establish parameters such as part line and gate positions.
3、CNC Machining And EDM
We employ high-quality machining equipment to craft the initial molds, utilizing materials such as plastic, steel, or aluminum as per the customer's specifications.
5、Improvement If Necessary
Following our analysis of the T1 sample, we meticulously review the mold design and implement any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal performance.
2、Mold Flow Analysis
The subsequent stage involves leveraging predictive modeling software to visualize the behavior of molten material as it enters the mold
4、T1 sample
Using the freshly manufactured molds, we produce a T1 sample to gain a precise understanding of the appearance and quality of the customer's final molded parts.
6、Check And Shipping
We manufacture the molds according to the final specifications before shipping them to the customer.

Materials For Mold Making
| Material | Specs | Subtypes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tool Steel |
| Tool steel is a carbon and alloy steel known for its high hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, making it ideal for enduring the stresses and demands of die production. | P20 H13 S7 NAK80 718 718H 738 |
| Stainless Steel |
| Stainless steel exhibits superior heat resistance compared to other mold materials, making it well-suited for plastic molding processes involving high temperatures or rapid temperature changes. | 136 301 303 304 316 316L 420 |
| Aluminum |
| aluminum may not match the hardness and wear resistance of tool steel, aluminum molds provide significant benefits in terms of cost-effectiveness, lightweight construction, and thermal conductivity. | 5052 6061 7075 |

FAQs Of Mold Making
What Is Mold Making And Why Do We Need It
Mold making is the process of creating molds, which are precise negative forms used to shape materials such as plastics, metals, or ceramics into specific shapes. Mold making is necessary in various manufacturing industries to produce consistent and accurate parts or products in large quantities. It is typically required when mass-producing items where replication of identical shapes or forms is essential for efficiency and quality control.
Should I Choose a Locally produced mold or an exported mold?
In broad terms, manufacturing plastic or metal molds (and moldings) tends to be more cost-effective in China compared to other countries. However, it's important to factor in shipping costs. Air freight may be necessary for tight schedules, albeit more expensive, while sea freight is considerably cheaper but typically entails a longer transit time of 40 days or more.
What is the typical lifespan of a mold?
A well crafted, fully hardened steel mold has the potential to withstand up to a million shots or injections, contingent upon factors such as mold configuration and injection material. Conversely, aluminum molds offer less durability, making them suitable for short-run production schedules.
Is there a limit to the shapes molds can take?
Molding designs should steer clear of sharp corners, irregular wall thicknesses, and any features that impede material flow.
Under what circumstances would a fully automatic mold be necessary?
Ultimately, the most cost-efficient method to achieve the desired quality for your parts is paramount, regardless of the approach chosen.
