Zhongde Mold and Tooling Production Capacity

Zhongde offers custom injection mold design and tooling production services for your project requirements. Our skilled team collaborates with customers and develops precise plastic injection mold designs. We have the ability to provide various mold types and deliver top-notch rapid tooling services to address the customer's diverse needs. Below are the various mold types for different projects.

Custom Injection Molds' Cavities Numbers

Single Cavity Mold

Mold that produces one part per molding cycle. It is often used for low-volume production or when each part requires individual attention.

Multi-Cavities Mold

Mold that contains multiple identical cavities, allowing for the production of multiple parts simultaneously in each molding cycle. It is commonly used for medium to high-volume production.

Family-Cavities Mold

Mold that produces multiple different parts in a single molding cycle. It is designed with multiple cavities, each producing a different part. Family molds are efficient for manufacturing parts with similar design characteristics.

Custom Injection Molds for Difference Processes

Custom Injection Mold

Mold that used in the injection molding process to create plastic parts by injecting molten material into a mold cavity.

Custom Compression Mold

Mold that is utilized in compression molding to shape materials by applying heat and pressure to the mold.

Custom Insert Mold

Mold that contains inserts, which are placed into the mold cavity before the molding process. They are commonly used in overmolding or insert molding.

Custom Injection Mold & Tooling Production

Zhongde specializes in custom injection molds making based on your specific requirements. Using advanced modeling software, we conduct thorough mold flow analysis to ensure precise and efficient injection mold designs and mold tooling production. Here is our mold and tooling production service process.

Design and Engineering

The mold manufacturing process begins with the design and engineering of the mold.

Machining Process

The custom mold making by CNC machining guide by CAM program.

Mold Texture

Different mold surface finishing treatments to meet custom parts surface characteristics.

Mold Assembly

The mold components are meticulously assembled.

Testing and Adjustment

Test and asjust the complete mold to ensure its proper fit, functionality and dimensional accuracy.

Sample Production

Produce sample parts to verify the mold's performance, part quality, cycle time, and production feasibility.

Custom Mold Tooling Materials

The injection mold's material selection is important to mold quality and lifespan. Suitable mold will also lower custom parts costs. What material should be used for your mold? Zhongde has a wide range of custom mold materials choices, and our experienced team will offer professional advice based on your projects and product development stages.

Here is a comparison between the materials from cost, lead time, and production volume.

Mold Material	Description	Cost	Production Colume	Lead Time
Steel	The most popular material for mold making. It is include tool steel (such as P20, H13) and stainless steel (such as 420 and 316).	High	High	Moderate
Aluminum	Less expensive and have a shorter mold lifespan. Aluminum molds are suitable for rapid protyping and low-volume production.	Moderate	Moderate	Short
Coper Alloy	Cooper alloys mold are offen used for that require high heat transfer.	Moderate	Moderate	Moderate
Silicone	Silicone molds are commonly used for casting flexible or intricate parts. The silicone molds are easy part release.	Low	Low	Short

FAQs of Custom Molding Tooling Production

How long does it take to make a mold?

Generally, mold production can range from a few weeks to a few months. That is depending on the complexity and size of the mold, and the specific requirements of the project.

Can existing molds be modified or repaired?

Yes, existing molds can be modified or repaired. But the feasibility and details of modifications or repairs would be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

How many parts can be produced from a single mold?

The number of parts that can be produced from a single mold depends on the mold material, the part design, and the maintenance and care of the mold. With proper maintenance and care, molds can typically produce thousands to hundreds of thousands of parts.

Can you provide samples or prototypes to evaluate the mold design and functionality?

Yes, as an on-demand manufacturer, we can provide samples or prototypes to evaluate the mold design and functionality. And you make any necessary adjustments before mass production.

What is the total cost of mold production, including design, manufacturing, etc?

The total cost of mold production can vary depending on factors such as mold design, size, material, and any additional services or features required. To provide an accurate cost estimate, we would need specific details about the project requirements and design specifications.
