( A ) Information collection before mold
design
Generally, for custom molds, we are supposed to get
enough information from customers before mold design
starts. It will save us time.
For replacement purpose, customers generally tend to use
mold components equivalent to those available in their
own market. For example, North American customers prefer
components equivalent to DME, PCS, etc while Europe
customers like HASCO, etc.
We will choose standard mold components as requested.
( B ) Mold Design
Good mold starts with excellent design.
Here, we have experienced mold designers to guarantee
superior mold design. Generally, our mold design is
handled by a designated team. The team is always led by
senior engineers, involving mold-designers, 2D & 3D
draftsmen and technicians from production floor. There
will be a meeting with the presence of the project
manger where the design solution is worked out. And,
then, the mold designer and 2D & 3D draftsmen actualize
the idea for the approval of the senior engineer.
1) Mold to run in Auto-mould facility
Generally, under this circumstance, customers are not
concerned about the mold; instead, they are eager to
ensure the aesthetic surface will not be hurt. So, we
are supposed to send them a drawing to show where PL,
Gate, Ejectors, Side Actions will be located.
2) Custom mold for export
For custom molds for export, we have to go through a
strict approval process before cutting steels.
Since these molds are expected to run in customer's or
other specified molding shop, they have to check if our
mold design is up to their standards and/or if the mold
can run in specified molding machine. Thus, after the
senior engineer's inspection, the design will be
submitted to our customers for inspection. And, then, if
need be, some modifications will be made after
discussion with customer.
