Simply put, a mold is a tool used to shape objects. This tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts.

According to the different molding materials, molds can be divided into metal molds and non-metal molds.

Metal molds are further divided into: casting molds (non-ferrous metal die casting, steel casting), and forging molds, etc.; non-metallic molds are also divided into: plastic molds and inorganic non-metallic molds. According to the different materials of the mold itself, the mold can be divided into: sand mold, metal mold, vacuum mold, paraffin mold and so on. Among them, with the rapid development of polymer plastics, plastic molds are closely related to people's lives. Plastic molds can generally be divided into: injection molding molds, extrusion molding molds, gas-assisted molding molds and so on.

——Cold heading, die forging, metal mold, etc.

Sheet metal discharge-hot rolled, cold rolled, hot coil, cold coil sheet metal processing-deep drawing, shaping, bending, punching, blanking

Non-ferrous metals-die casting, powder metallurgy plastic parts-injection molding, blow molding (plastic bottles), extrusion molding (pipe fittings) After receiving the order, it means that the mold is about to be put into production, and how is the mold produced? Let me introduce you to the simple process of mold production.

1) Early supplier participation: This stage is mainly for technical discussions on product design and mold development between customers and suppliers. The main purpose is to allow suppliers to clearly understand the design intent of the product designer and Accuracy requirements also allow product designers to better understand mold production capabilities and product process capabilities, so as to make more reasonable designs.

2) Quotation: including the price of the mold, the life of the mold, the turnover process, the required tonnage of the machine and the mold

delivery date. (A more detailed quotation should include product size and weight, mold size and weight and other information.)

3) Orders: the issuance of customer orders, deposits and the acceptance of supplier orders.

4) Mold production plan and scheduling arrangement: At this stage, it is necessary to reply to the customer on the specific date of the mold shipment.

5) Mold design: The design software that may be used is Pro/Engineer, UG, Solidworks, AutoCAD, CATIA, etc.

6) Purchase materials

7) Mold processing: The processes involved generally include turning, gongs (milling), heat treatment, grinding, computer gongs (CNC), electric sparks (EDM), wire cutting (WEDM), coordinate grinding (JIGGRINGIN), lettering, polishing Wait.

8) Mold assembly

9) Mold trial

10) Sample evaluation report

11) Approval of model evaluation report.
