Get injection molding machine specification from the customer and make the mold applied to the machine
Unlike a stay-in-house mold, a qualified export custom mold must be applied to the customer's machine and run smooth in customer's molding shop. So first of everything, we confirm this information with the customer, sometimes it means we need to customize the mold base size to fit it in.
Do a draft design and confirm with customer about mold design before 3D construction.
Start 2D/3D mold design
After all the pre-design discussion, we started 2D/3D mold design, usually it will be done in 2-3 working days.
Mold Making and Progress Report
After mold design confirmed, we start making the injection mold in our factory, it takes 5 weeks to complete this harden mold, during mold making, we updated once a week to keep the customer updated by progress report, so our customer can just sit back and cross fingers to wait the due date.
