Crafting the Ultimate Precision Component: Injection Molding Tooling
The Importance of Mold Creation
Constructing high-quality injection molding tooling requires patience and exceptional attention to detail. It often accounts for the most significant expenditure in the manufacturing process, making achieving a high-quality mold crucial for project success. The injection mold tooling process becomes even more intricate when the objective is to produce accurate components in substantial quantities.
At Hafo Mould, we specialize in injection molding tooling. We have developed a proprietary system that aims to maximize efficiency at every stage of mold design, analysis, production, try-out, and injection. Our highly skilled team and cutting-edge equipment enable us to swiftly transform 3D part data into top-notch injection molded components using the resins specified by our customers in quantities ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands.
Injection Mold Factory
As one of the leading injection mold manufacturers, Hafo Mould has gained a reputation for molding highly intricate components within the same tight delivery timelines as simpler tools. Our advanced mold design department is staffed by industry experts who comprehend injection molding requirements and the unique capabilities of our molds. Our molds frequently feature complex ribbing, multiple undercuts, over-molding, insert molding, and internal and external threads. Multi-cavity, fully automated tooling is something we can build if customers need higher production rates. This additional investment is typically offset by increased productivity and lower per-unit costs.
Why Choose Hafo Mould for Injection Molding Tooling Services?
We use cutting-edge CNC and EDM machinery to produce our tools, which are then hand-benched for a fine finish after being held to standard tolerances of +/- 0.005′′. We employ only high-stability alloys and premium mold components to guarantee reliable operation during injection molding. As we produce and run our molds in-house, we can efficiently manage every aspect of projects from start to finish, allowing us to accommodate customer-requested engineering changes promptly.
Upon completing each project, we store the customer’s tooling in our computerized storage system, allowing us to injection mold parts periodically in the future. Our “Lifetime Mold Guarantee” ensures that we can support customers who wish to have us produce parts periodically in the future.
Attention to Detail for Injection Molding Tooling
Investing in a high-quality, long-lasting precision mold is an investment in your company. Several factors influence the cost of a plastic injection mold, including:
- Core metal: High volume precision molds are made from hardened steel that can endure the pressures of extended production runs while maintaining tight tolerances. Hafo Mould has numerous stainless steel molds that have been in production for decades.
- Number of cavities: We aim to maximize the number of cavities in the mold to ensure optimal productivity. We recommend creating one mold per part rather than a family mold, which can lead to inferior products and increased downtime due to maintenance issues.
- Mold base: The base holds all mold cavities, inserts, and components together. The cost of the base depends on the mold size, the steel type used, and the required customization.
- Core/cavity machining: Cores, cavities, ejectors, cooling lines, and other features of molds must all be precisely placed for optimal performance.
- Part complexity: The complexity of the part, including the final surface finish and the number of undercuts required, also affects the mold cost.
Molds that meet our high standards for quality, tolerance, and cycle time are the result of a team effort between our designers and toolmakers. We have the capability to mold components with intricate geometries and varying wall thicknesses.
