Molds Making

Shanghai Elue Molds Making Service

Plastic Mold is an important part of the equipment manufacturing industry. The mass production of plastic injection molded parts have the advantages of high efficiency, high consistency, low energy consumables, high precision and complexity, etc. Therefore, they are widely used in mechanical, electronic, automotive, information, aviation, aerospace, military, transportation, building materials, medical, biological, and other industries. Actually,about 60%~80% of the parts in the above industries rely on mold processing.

Molds Design

A perfect mold tool starts from a good mold design, and it determines the appearance and quality of the finished products. Below are some points to be considered for a good mold design:
pay2-icon1.pngWall thickness:Uneven wall thickness can cause surface shrinkage, air holes or fusion marks.
pay2-icon1.pngMaterial shrinkage: Due to the shrinkage rate unevenness during injection molding, the accuracy of injection molded parts is obviously lower than that of metal parts, and the dimensional tolerances of mechanical parts cannot be simply applied.
pay2-icon1.pngDrafting angle: Proper drafting angles can avoid product straining or top injury.
pay2-icon1.pngInjection parts deformation: Improve the rigidity of injection molding products structure, try to avoid flat structure, set reasonable set flange, concave and convex structure,and reasonable application of reinforcement ribs.
pay2-icon1.pngThe mold opening direction and parting lines should ensure that the core pulling slide mechanism is minimized and the effect of the parting line on the appearance is eliminated.

Molds Making Processes

After customer confirmed mold designs,the first thing is to prepare mold steel, then we start on CNC milling. A injection mold comprises two main sections. One section is the mold base which can be purchased from the professional mold base factory. While the other section is the mold core or cavity which are customized machined based on mold designs.On most cases, there are electrodes needed to EDM the complex shapes or high precision small workpieces.ase a PO if the quote meets your request along with down payment.

Molds EDM Machining

EDM means electrical discharge machining, generally we use copper as an intermediate. EDM machining has been widely used in molds making industry, with its advantages of small machining allowance, high processing accuracy, short production cycle, low manufacturing costs and other outstanding advantages.

Molds Polishing

Plastic injection mold polishing not only increases the beauty of the workpiece, but improves the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the steel surface, also it can facilitate the subsequent injection molding process, such as making plastic products easy to demold, reducing the injection molding cycle, etc.There are 6 types of mold polishing techniques which includes Mechanical Mold Polishing,Chemical Mold Polishing, Electrolytic Mold Polishing, Ultrasonic Mold Polishing, Fluid Mold Polishing and Magnetic Mold Polishing.

Molds Making Projects

Shanghai Elue is an expert to provide plastic mold injection service. Over the years,we have run various plastic molds for different industries.

CNC Machining

The majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humor, words which don’t look even slightly.

Plastic Molding

The majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humor, words which don’t look even slightly.

Aluminum Extrusion

The majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humor, words which don’t look even slightly.

Molds Stock/Transfer

One of the big advantages of Plastic molding is that the molds are repeatable and can be used for many times production. Generally speaking, our customers always stock the molds here and we take care of the Regular maintenance in our molding workshop for their repeat orders.
 
Or another solution is that you may want to transfer your tools to a new injection molder in local place to save the future shipping cost. Don’t worry, we’ll make the whole tool transfer process as seamless as possible. Before shipping out, our tool room teams will do a final inspection and Maintenance and match those Mold Accessories for you.
