What are the basic requirements of plastic mold design and manufacturing?

Industrial products cannot be produced without molds. Therefore, in order to manufacture good plastic products, it is necessary to have good quality molds first. From the plastic processing industry, in order to ensure the quality and suitable price of the molds, the following basic requirements are usually met during the design and manufacture of the molds.

  1、High precision: The size and precision of the mold meet the customer's demand, which is the most important reflection of the quality of the mold. Therefore, in the mold design and manufacturing process, in order to ensure that the size of the products is accurate, the requirements for mold accuracy should be higher than the requirements for the accuracy of the products, and be specifically implemented into the corresponding design and manufacturing steps.

  2、Low cost: Price is always the main factor for customers to consider. Therefore, the most economical price should be used to select the mold material, design and manufacturing personnel, as well as processing methods, etc. Mold cost and mold materials, complexity, structure requirements, size and accuracy requirements, processing methods, etc. are closely related, although we can not just pursue the lowest price, but also to seek a proper and reasonable price, which requires to find a most reasonable price balance point under so many factors, which is a very important point in terms of reasonable interpretation of mold cost and acceptance by customers.

    3, long life: because the mold in the production cost occupies a larger proportion, so the longer the service life of the mold, the lower the production cost for the customer. Therefore, customers hope that the mold has a long service life, which requires the design, selection of materials, production and processing of the mold to take this into account, which link has oversight, may lead to shorten the service life of the mold.

    4、Short cycle: Under the premise of ensuring the quality of the mold, the mold design and manufacturing time is relatively short, which not only means that the customer can be put into production faster and the products hit the market earlier, but also means that the mold supplier's enterprise management level and mold manufacturing technology is higher, which also saves the mold supplier's cost investment.
