Tooling for Injection Molds

Overview:

Parts Design (client may provide completed 3D files)

The tooling process begins with a completed and checked part design. Linjie-Mould Engineering Ltd can optionally optimize your design before tooling in order to lower your costs and ensure that your design will work well.

Parts Prototyping (if necessary)

If you would like to validate your parts design with a machined piece that you can see and feel, Linjie-Mould Engineering Ltd can use Computer Numerical Control (CNC) techniques to prototype your parts.

Tool Design

At this stage the tool is designed, using the information from your completed tools and moulds design
Tool Check and Mold Flow Analysis

The tool design is validated for correctness.

Tool Making (including use of Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) technologies) The tool is precisely fabricated according to the validated design.

First Shots To Client

Once the injection molds are made, the first test shot samples will be sent out soon after via international courier. Once sent, these usually take around 2-5 days to arrive.

Tool Modifications and Texturing

At this stage Linjie-Mould Engineering Ltd completes the tool and makes any required changes to bring the tool into the approved spec. Changes made to bring the tool to spec (specifically excluding design changes, which are always charged for) are made free of charge by us.

At this stage, texturing also takes place, which is normally the last stage before mass production.

Mass Production Run or Export

At this stage parts are produced and delivered to the customer, or the tool is released for export use.

Technical Topics:

Molding begins with tooling. No matter how good the design, if the tooling is not up to the task, the quality of the parts will suffer.
