◉ Ideal for low-cost metal parts in aluminum, stainless steel, and various alloys.

Extrusion Dies

◉ Precision metal dies tailored for aluminum profiles (e.g., 6061, 6063).
◉ Custom plastic extrusion dies designed for continuous profiles in polymers like nylon and polystyrene.

Sheet Metal Stamping Dies

◉ Manufactured from high-grade tool steels like SKD11/D2 or DC53 for superior toughness.
◉ Engineered to resist high-impact forming and wear during high-volume production.

SPI Mold Classification for Injection Molds

We build custom molds according to SPI standards, ranging from rapid prototype tooling to high-volume production. Our engineers help you select the ideal class based on your volume, material, and target tool life.

Materials Used for Custom Mold Making

Material NameMaterial Composition and Detailed Description
Aluminum2024/7075/6061 alloys, excellent machinability & thermal conductivity. Suitable for low to medium volume production (up to 50k cycles). Lighter weight enables faster production cycles.
PlasticNylon (wear-resistant), ABS (low-cost), Polypropylene (chemical-resistant). Ideal for rapid prototyping or short-run testing.
Tool SteelH13 (die casting), S7 (impact-resistant), D2 (high-wear stamping). For high-volume production (500k+ cycles) with precision.
Stainless Steel410/420 grades offer corrosion resistance. Essential for medical/food-grade molds requiring polished surfaces.

How to Choose the Right Mold

Choosing the right mold type depends on your production volume, part complexity, material, and budget. Key factors to evaluate include expected mold life in shot count, tolerance requirements, unit cost at your target volume, and lead time from design to first article.

 

Below is a quick comparison of the most common mold categories to help you identify the best fit for your project.

 

◉ Plastic injection molds are ideal for high-volume thermoplastic parts with tight dimensional repeatability.
◉ Die casting molds suit non-ferrous metal components requiring excellent surface finish and structural integrity.
◉ Metal injection molding bridges the gap for small, complex stainless steel or alloy parts that need near-net-shape accuracy.
◉ Investment casting molds offer a lower tooling cost entry point for metal parts with moderate complexity.
◉ Extrusion dies serve continuous-profile applications in both aluminum and plastic.

Injection Mold Making Process

Mold making is a complex process that requires a high level of skill and experience. Although each case is different, a typical order for a set of molds may go something like this:

DFM

As soon as the customer confirms the order of molds, we will start to do an initial analysis of the parts to get an idea of the part line, gate positions, etc.

Mold design and mold flow analysis

The second step involves the use of predictive modeling software which allows us to see how the molten material will behave when it enters the mold, allowing for further improvements to the design.

CNC machining and EDM

We make the first molds using high-quality machining equipment, with the plastic, steel, aluminum, etc. chosen by the customer.

T1 sample

With the newly made molds, we make a T1 sample to have a clear vision of how the customer’s final molded parts will turn out.

Improvement if necessary

Based on our analysis of the T1 sample, we review the mold design and make any adjustments needed.

Commence production and shipping

We manufacture the molds in accordance with the final specifications before shipping them to the customer.

FAQ

Learn about some related issues from here

Why use casting instead of a more accessible process like CNC machining?

Metal casting can be used to make very large parts with high tensile strength and complex parts with undercuts. Sometimes there is no alternative.

How long does a mold last?

A well-made, fully harden steel mold may be used for up to a million shots or injections, depending on the mold shape and injection material. Aluminum molds are less durable, which is good for short-run production with tight schedule.

What factors affect mold making lead time?

Lead time varies based on mold complexity, material selection, and current production schedules. Simple prototype molds can be delivered in as few as ten business days, while complex multi-cavity production molds may require several weeks. We provide estimated timelines with every DFM report.
