How to Distinguish Mold Grades? Take A Look at The Five Major American Mold Standards

The price of the export mold will be more expensive, but it is expensive because the standard is different. The American Plastics Industry Association (SPIAN-102-78) divides the molds into five categories. Each of these five types of molds has its own requirements, and this classification of molds can only be applied to molds with 400 tons or less of injection molding machines.

The cycle can be up to 1 million times for high production. The best mold material is […]

What Are The Main Reasons Affect Mold Failure?

Failure often occurs in the use of molds, from the actual point of view, we focus on several failure modes. There are five main types:
 

Failure of plastic deformation

The main reason is that the strength level of the mold material is not high; or the heat treatment process is not correct, not to achieve the best strength and toughness of steel; improper use of the die causes local overload; for hot-working mold softening at high temperature will also lead to mold thermoplastic deformation […]

Injection Molding Design – Summary of Requirements on Mold Design Process

The mold design is different from product design, because it is a process design itself. The basic requirements for mold design are: 

The mold shall be able to complete the process of parts processing.

 

The equipment on which the mold is used shall be specified; and the technical parameters of the equipment shall be complied with.

 
 

The parts molded during the validity period of the mold shall have the dimension tolerance within the allowed range of parts drawings.

 

For prototype mold, the mold […]

Sharing Specific Mold Processing Methods

(1) Determine the type of mold.
Such as pressing die (open, semi closed, closed), casting die, injection mold, etc.
mold making
(2) Determine the main structure of mold type.
The ideal die structure is to determine the necessary molding equipment, the ideal cavity number, under absolutely reliable conditions can make the mold itself work to meet the technical and economic requirements of the plastic parts. The technical requirements for plastic parts are to ensure the geometry, surface finish and dimensional accuracy of plastic […]

5 Trends of Domestic Plastic Mold Development in The Future

Plastic industry has a history of 120 years. After more than a century of great development, plastic is now integrated into all aspects of human life and work, from machinery, electronics, automobiles, information, aviation, aerospace, light industry, military industry, transportation, building materials, medical, biological, energy and other industries. And 60% – 80% of the above industry parts need to rely on mold processing molding, so mold as an important material molding process equipment in the history of the development […]

What Are The Characteristics of Injection Molds?

In the market, most of the molds we come into contact with are injection molds, which inject plastic materials into the molds to form the products needed for sale. In the mold industry, injection moulds are widely used. What are the characteristics of injection moulds? Injection mold is a kind of processing method used in batch production. It is mainly used in industrial field. The process of injection mold is to inject the melted material into the mold cavity […]

What Needs to be Determined before Plastic Mold Design?

Before designing the plastic mold, we must find out the required plastic parts and production conditions. For this reason, we need to do the following work.
 
(1) Acceptance of mission documents
 
The task document for molded plastic parts is usually presented by the designer of the product.
 

the formal drawing of the specimen is signed, and the grade and transparency of the plastic are specified.
Specifications or technical requirements for plastic parts.

3.Production output.

samples of plastic products.

 
Usually the mold design task statement is put […]

Development trend of Rapid Tooling Technology

With the development of rapid prototyping and rapid tooling manufacturing technology, in the near future, high precision rapid tooling will have great development. It is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
 
First, improve the performance of rapid tooling and improve the accuracy of rapid tooling. Good mold performance and high die accuracy are the key issues in the application and promotion of rapid tooling.
 

Improving the performance of the rapid tooling: In order to obtain high-quality product parts and better mold […]

What Are Suitable Materials for Prototype?

In the following four materials for prototype, only black PC can be spliced, while the other three materials cannot be spliced but manufactured in one piece instead.
1.Prototypes of conventional products are generally made of ABS material,and the prototypes made of ABS are easy to machine,and more pleasant looking after treatment.
2.Prototypes of high temperature resistant products can be made with materials including(1) epoxy resin; (2)bakelite; (3) black PC; (4) PA (nylon).
3.Prototypes of wear resistant products can be produced withPOM or PA. […]
