Design of automatic decondensation mechanism for injection mold of engine hook attachment
Preface In ordinary runner injection molds, materials in gate and runner are all formed aggregates, which are called head or aggregate in production practice. After injection is completed, condensate must be separated from molded plastic part. The key to separation of condensate is separation of gate condensate from plastic part, followed by separation of runner condensate from runner. There are…

Liquid Injection Molding
https://www.jlymim.com/liquid-injection-molding.html
What is Liquid Injection Molding
Liquid metal can also be referred to as the metal of transformable state. Liquid metal injection molding is mainly used in the field of electronics parts.
 Liquid metal is the characteristic of this technology. The part ability is easy to melting shaping, high hardness, corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and so on.
 Liquid metal technology has a unique amorphous molecular structure, which is quite different from the crystalline structure of traditional metals. In addition to its low melting point (so it is called liquid metal), its biggest advantage lies in its shaping ability after melting. Because the physical characteristics of the solidification process are completely different from ordinary metal, its casting process is more similar to plastic rather than metal, and it can be more convenient to create products of various forms.
 Advantages of Liquid Injection Molding
1. Compared with traditional molding, the curing time of liquid metal injection molding is shorter
 2. LIM molding has high repeatability, high parts tolerance/accuracy, cost-effective production of high quality parts and seals.
 3. Liquid injection molding machine has high transparency, color can be produced according to material flow direction
 4. Closed liquid injection molding supports molding and over-molding of complex geometric shapes
 Other Properties of Liquid Metals
In addition to the convenience of casting, liquid metal has other properties:
 1. High yield strength
 2. High hardness
 3. Excellent strength to weight ratio
 4. Elastic limit of superelevation
 5. Corrosion resistance
 6. High wear resistance
 7. Unique acoustic characteristics
 Liquid Injection Molding Process
1. Mixing
 The liquid injection molding (LIM) process begins with a formulation of a two-part liquid mixture that is delivered in a fixed proportion from a material drum to a static mixer by a hydraulic or pneumatic metering pump system. A static mixer mixes the two components into a uniform suspension. This mixing process activates the compound platinum curing system.
 2. Injecting
 Liquid material for moulding flows from the static mixer to the injection device. The material is then injected into the mold cavity through a system of runner and gate, where it is kept at high pressure and temperature until the material solidifies.
 3. Ejecting
 After the composite is injected directly into the sealing mold and harden, and the parts to be finished are ejected from the liquid injection molding machine. To prevent machine hardware from being blocked by metal liquid, spring-needle nozzles can be used during the injection phase. Spring loading allows the injection pressure to be higher than the extruder barrel, thus keeping the passage clear.

A successful hot runner mold application project requires multiple links to be guaranteed
A successful hot runner mold application project requires multiple links to be guaranteed. The most important of these are two technical factors: one is the control of plastic temperature, and the other is the control of plastic flow. 1, plastic temperature control: the control of plastic temperature in hot runner mold applications is extremely important. The processing and product quality problems that occur in many production processes are directly derived from the poor control of the temperature of the hot runner system. If the hot pin gate method is used, the quality of the product gate is poor during injection molding, the filling time and quality of the parts in the multi-cavity mold are inconsistent, and if possible, the hot runner system with multiple zones and temperature control should be selected as much as possible. Increase flexibility and resilience in use. Moreover, with the current high mold requirements, higher requirements are placed on temperature control requirements.
At present, there are not many units that can be put into research and development in this field. Domestically, we still use imported imitation products from abroad in the early 1980s, precision mold manufacturing while Suzhou Bo The eMTC series developed by Zhenzhen Technology Co., Ltd. adopts the principle of single-chip microcomputer, realizes multi-channel parallel control, with higher control precision, greater integration, and responsiveness. It is only one-fourth of the size of ordinary temperature control equipment, and only other equipment.
A quarter of it has become a professional company in the field. It is currently the only product that can be replaced with international equipment. 2, the control of plastic flow: plastic in the hot runner system, the drug flow balance, the gate should be opened at the same time to make the plastic fill the cavity synchronously, the flow channel size design balance for the cavity with different parts weight difference. Otherwise, there will be some parts filled with mold and pressure is not enough, and some parts are overfilled with excessive pressure, too large flash, poor quality and other issues. The hot runner runner size should be designed reasonably, the size is too small, the mold filling pressure loss is too large, the size is too large, the hot runner volume is too large, the plastic stays in the hot runner system for too long, and the material performance is damaged, which may not satisfy the part after molding. Requirements.
There are already CAE software in the world that help users with optimal runner design, such as MOLDCAE. Second, the application range of hot runner mold: plastic material type: hot runner mold has been successfully used to process a variety of plastic materials, any plastic material that can be processed with cold runner mold can be processed with hot runner mold. Part size and weight: The parts made with hot runner molds are as small as 0.1g or less, and the largest is more than 30Kg. The application is extremely flexible. Industrial field: Hot runner molds are widely used in industrial sectors such as electronics, automotive, medical, daily necessities, toys, packaging, construction, office equipment, etc.

What are the main components of an plastic injection mold?
Injection mold is a kind of mold that must be made before producing plastic products. Each plastic product design has its own mold. Injection molding refers to the injection of heated and melted plastic materials into the mold cavity at high pressure and high speed by an injection molding machine, and after cooling and solidification, a molded product is obtained.
Although the structure of the injection mold varies due to the type of plastic, performance, shape and structure of the plastic product, and the type of injection equipment, but the basic structure is the same.
The basic structure of the injection mold can be divided into seven parts: molding parts, gating system, guiding mechanism, ejector device, lateral parting and core pulling mechanism, cooling and heating system and exhaust system.
1, Molding parts
It refers to the parts that constitute the mold cavity, mainly including: punch, die, core, forming rod, forming ring and inserts and other parts.
2, Gating system
It refers to the plastic flow channel in the mold from the injection molding machine nozzle to the cavity, which ensures the appearance and internal quality of the plastic part, improves the molding speed and shortens the molding cycle. Ordinary gating system is composed of main runner, branch runner, gate, cold material hole and so on.
1) Definition of the main channel: The main channel refers to the section from the contact between the nozzle of the injection machine and the mold to the runner.
2) Definition of branch runner: the section between the main runner and the gate, it is the transition section where the molten plastic flows from the main runner into the cavity, and it is also the transition section in the gating system through the change of cross-sectional area and the plastic turning, which can make the plastic get smoothly
3) Gate definition: Gate is also called feed port or inner runner. It is the narrow part between the runner and the plastic part, also known as the shortest part of the gating system.
4) Cold material hole structure: The cold material hole is used to store the cold material head generated during the injection interval, to prevent the cold material from entering the cavity and affecting the quality of the plastic parts, and to enable the molten material to fill the cavity smoothly. The hole is also called the cold material well.
3, Guiding mechanism
In the plastic mold, the main function of the guiding mechanism is to guide, to ensure the normal closing and separation of the movable and fixed molds, to avoid the collision between the movable and fixed molds, and to ensure the accurate clamping of the movable and fixed molds. The mold will generate lateral pressure during molding, which will cause dislocation of the movable and fixed molds. Especially in large-scale, thin-walled plastic parts or molds with asymmetric shapes of plastic parts that require high injection molding accuracy, when the sides of the cavity and core are subject to greater pressure, it is easy to cause the cavity or core to be offset. In order to ensure the relative position accuracy of the movable and fixed molds during injection molding, and to prevent lateral displacement of the movable, fixed molds and molding parts; Both the movable and fixed molds must have a positioning structure, and their functions are as follows:
1) Positioning function: maintain a certain orientation between the movable and fixed molds when the mold is closed, and maintain the correct shape of the mold cavity after the mold is closed.
2) Guiding function: When the mold is closed, the movable mold is guided to close in sequence to prevent damage to the core and to bear a certain lateral force.
3) Bearing effect: The ejector plate is used for demoulding or the three-plate mold structure, and the guide post can bear the heavy load of the pusher plate and the fixed mold cavity plate.
4) The function of maintaining smooth movement: For the demolding mechanism of large and medium-sized molds, it has the function of keeping the movement of the mechanism flexible and stable.
4, The ejector device
It mainly plays the role of ejecting the parts from the mold, and is composed of ejector rod or ejector pipe or push plate, ejector plate, ejector pin fixing plate, reset rod and pulling rod.
The ejection mechanism of the injection mold is also called the demoulding mechanism. In each cycle of injection molding, the plastic part must be taken out from the mold cavity, and the mechanism that completes the action of taking out the plastic part is the ejector mechanism.
The main function has the following two points
When the mold is opened, it ensures that the plastic parts and the pouring system condensate can be smoothly released from the mold without deformation; The mechanism resets correctly.
After the plastic parts and condensate are taken out from the mold, make sure that the ejector mechanism is correctly reset when the mold is closed.
5, Lateral parting and core pulling mechanism
The function of the lateral parting and core-pulling mechanism is to release the lateral punch or extract the lateral core, which usually includes inclined guide posts, bent pins, inclined guide grooves, wedge blocks, inclined sliders, and inclined guides. slots, gear racks and other parts.
6, Cooling and heating system
It consists of cooling system (cooling water hole, cooling water tank, copper pipe) or heating system. The function is to adjust the temperature of the mold process, and the temperature of the mold directly affects the quality and efficiency of the molding of plastic parts.
Plastic parts with low melting point and good fluidity can be cooled to shorten the production cycle. For some plastics with poor fluidity, in order to improve the fluidity, the mold can be heated.
7, Exhaust system
Its function is to remove the gas in the cavity, which is mainly composed of exhaust grooves and matching gaps.
In some large plastic parts or plastic parts with a relatively large injection volume, the injection mold is closed because there is air in the mold cavity. In the injection plastic, the pressure generated inside the cavity is too large, which will cause some parts of the plastic part to be damaged. The effect of air pressure causes the incomplete plastic parts to be missing. At this time, exhaust devices should be made at these corresponding positions to facilitate the removal of air!
Guangzhou Yijiada Plastic Products Co., Ltd. is a professional plastic mold design and production factory, dedicated to the design, development and production of molds for plastic parts, plastic packaging containers, electronic products, household appliances, household products, industrial applications, agriculture, medical equipment and other products. For a long time, we have won unanimous praise from customers at home and abroad by providing customers with services of low price, good quality and fast delivery.

The exhaust should avoid local overheating
The plastic preform is the embryo before the bottle is formed. The wall of the tube is thick and transparent, and it can be sealed with ordinary plastic bottle caps. In addition, it cannot be broken and stand on the table. It can replace test tubes in many ways. The preform is usually formed by a hot runner mold. There is a heat shield between the mold of the injection molding machine and the mold. The thickness is about 12mm, and the insulating board needs to withstand high voltage. The exhaust should avoid local overheating or chipping, but the depth of the exhaust port should not be greater than 0.03mm, otherwise it is easy to produce flash.  Cosmetic Packaging Set manufacturers  The quality of the preform depends on the quality of the preform provided. There are two types of preforms, one is a long mouth type and the other is a short mouth type.    The quality of the bottle depends on the quality of the preforms provided. There are two types of preforms in injection molding, one is a long plastic nozzle and the other is a short plastic nozzle. Domestic preform manufacturers use more short plastic nozzle preforms, while foreign preform manufacturers choose more long plastic nozzle preforms. A long plastic nozzle is used at the bottom of the plastic nozzle to cut a piece of preform, so that the tension in the blow molding process is evenly distributed, and the blow molding quality is improved. The cut part can be recycled, which is beneficial to save the cost of raw materials. In today's declining oil resources, domestic manufacturers prefer to use preforms with long plastic nozzles.    The quality control of plastic preforms in the production process depends on the degree of control to prevent scratches on the preforms during transportation. The preform is the prototype of the PET bottle before forming. Its tube wall is very thick and very transparent. It can be sealed with ordinary plastic bottle caps. In addition, it is not easy to break and can stand on the table, so it can be used to replace the use of test tubes.

4 Steps To Help Getting An Accurate Plastic Mold and Plastic Parts Offer From China
Tumblr media
With the continuous improvement of mold manufacturing and mold workers' skill in China, more and more European and American companies have dropped their purchase orders to Chinese plastic mold factories. The continuous deepening of information exchanges between the two sides has greatly promoted China's mold industry development. It is simple to deal with China's mold and injection molding suppliers for those buyers who often purchase in China. But for those who first came into contact with this mold industry, it was a very troublesome thing, especially in dealing with China's mold factories outside of thousands of miles. Language and technical communication constitute two significant obstacles. Many people who bought customized plastic parts in China for the first time were completely unfamiliar with this industry. Also, this industry is technology-intensive. The quotation requires suppliers and buyers to have a good interaction. The most important is how the buyers express their ideas to the suppliers. It is precisely at this point that many buyers do not know how to handle it. They often ask the supplier for a price from the very beginning. In fact, the price given by the supplier at this stage is very inaccurate. I will introduce the preparation process before the quotation of molds and molded parts so that buyers can have a clear understanding. The manufacture of injection-molded parts is a very complicated process. The first is the manufacture of molds, followed by injection molding, and the second operation of injection-molded parts, which involves transferring a lot of information. The top priority is how the buyer expresses his product requirements clearly to the supplier. In many cases, suppliers are required to quote only in the case of a hand-drawn drawing. Sometimes there is no requirement for plastic materials. Buyers just mentioned adjectives like "soft "and "hard" to describe the stuff he wants. In fact, this is incorrect.
Tumblr media
The side location difference above will lead to total different mould cost, 1. side hole high cost,2 and 3 location holes are better.
4 Steps for plastic mold quotation:
#Consult with experts
Tumblr media
The correct way is to find an injection molding engineer or mold engineer around you to consult with them. This early investment is necessary, and this investment will be paid off in the future. Of course, I would be happy to provide you with this service, but at this time, it is challenging for me to quote you also. You should find a very experienced engineer and tell him, face to face, what you think, the requirements for the product, the quantity requirements, the assembly requirements, and so on. He will give you good advice based on your actual situation. During this period, he will tell you which plastic material to choose, how to design the product, how to assemble it, and how to arrange a reasonable quantity. #CAD design
Tumblr media
After the above is completed, the 3D drawing design of the product can be performed. You can tell the design engineer your requirements in great detail. They will make the appropriate design according to your needs. #Rapid prototyping
Tumblr media
After the preliminary design is completed, you should do rapid prototyping at this stage to check whether your design intent has been achieved for new developments or changes to the old product. Rapid prototyping allows inspection of the appearance, assembly, and strength of a designed product. Modify the problematic design and make a new 3D printing. Repeat this process until the final 3d printing meets the requirements. This cost is relatively small, with a short time, and it can avoid costly and time-consuming mold changes later. In China, generally speaking, the cost of a small 3D printing is about 50 to 60 US dollars. This step may save you thousands of dollars later. #Quotation
Tumblr media
After this stage, you can give your potential suppliers a chance to quote the changed design. My article on this topic is very detailed about how to deal with Chinese suppliers.
How to copy existing products
Of course, if you want to copy existing products at this stage, you can send the product directly to the supplier and tell them your specific requirements. Fees can be deducted after the transaction. If you have only one sample and inconvenient to send it, you can take a picture of the sample. According to the three-view standard, you show suppliers a sample photo. Mark the position and size of the undercut, dents, and holes in each direction on the picture. In the photo, the size of the product is identified in detail, i.e., the length, width, and height. In theory, the six sides of the product must be photographed. The more detailed photograph is, the better it is. #Case 1 " order_by="sortorder" order_direction="ASC" returns="included" maximum_entity_count="500"]# Case 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is best to find the specifications of plastic materials on the sample and indicate the location and size of the gate.
Tumblr media
These plastic materials usually appear in the form of a triangle. In the end, you still have to send this sample to your final supplier to facilitate their design.
4 main points related to plastic mold and injection part price
- Quantity The number of purchases dramatically determines the price of the product and the plastic mold. As long as the product is only 10,000, do not put forward a requirement of 500,000 because 10,000 shoots required mold steel, mold design, and processing methods are entirely different from the 500,000 requirements. If the number of products is 10,000, the four-cavity mold can meet the requirements. If it is 500,000, the mold will require 10, 12 cavities or higher. The more cavities are, the higher standards of the steel material and processing requirements will be. This will lead to a significant increase in the material cost and processing cost of the mold. The considerable quantity shares these costs. If the quantity is small, then the cost-sharing of each product will be high. A case I have encountered a case where there is an ABS molded product. The annual demand is 1500 sets. It is internally threaded and needs to be unscrewing. If you need a full-automatic unscrewing mold, the cost will be high, and if the thread is made into an insert. The cost of the mold is only about 2/3 of the fully automatic mold cost, and the increase in injection molding cost is only small. - Color In general, dark-colored products need lower prices than light-colored products. Because the regrind material can be used in some cases, if it is a white or transparent product, the regrind material is difficult to use, which will increase the supplier's raw material costs. Frequently, the runner material and the new material have the same effects. The barrel of the injection molding machine is sometimes not so clean, so sometimes other colors will mix in. If the product requires transparency or white, this product is defective. If it is a dark color or even black, it cannot be seen. This product is good. - Tolerance As we all know, the processing cost of a loose tolerance plastic part is much lower than that of the tight one. Molds with tight tolerances have very stringent requirements for processing and mold steel and even require a unique injection molding process. - Plastic materials In general terms, the plastic we choose should be conventional plastics, not engineering plastics. Nylon66 flare-retardent grade "v0" price is more than four times the conventional PP plastic. The cost of the ordinary ABS is 1.5 times the price of PP. If it is mass production, the cost difference is great. Some plastics are corrosive, so there is a higher demand for the steel of the mold. This will also increase the manufacturing cost of the mold. There are also higher requirements for mold maintenance. The price of the steel s136 level is more than five times that of the steel p20. Among the three methods mentioned above(autocad files, samples photograph and samples), sending supplier samples directly is the best method. In this way, the molder can clearly know the product's structure and can also find out the structure of the previous mold. Research on off-the-shelf samples can avoid many detours in mold building and injection molding products. In short, before the quotation, the more the supplier knows your requirements and the specific structure of the product, the better it is so that the accuracy of the quotation can be guaranteed to the greatest degree. At the same time, it ensures the smooth progress of the project.
How To Buy The Plastic Mold Easier
You might consider it was challenging to purchase an injection mold because there will be a great deal of to and fro between purchaser and molder before when the last item is concluded on. Nevertheless, the few suggestions here can help conserve lots of time and help make the entire procedure a bit simpler.
Tumblr media
- Produce an RFQ that explores a wide range of specifics. As experienced as mold makers are usually, they won't manage to go through your head when considering what you're interested in. Consist of as numerous details as possible during this period, like the variety of cavities, the material, the required life expectancy of your mold, and any specific warranties you may require. Should you aren't very confident on such subjects, then inform your mold maker, and they will be ready to show you how to choose what's proper for your requirements. The more precise you come up with your RFQ, the more correct an offer you will get for your efforts. - Be honest about the reason why you need an offer. Should you require an overall quote to spread to a different unit, then let the mold maker fully understand- they are going to get back to you then rapidly. Developing a precise quotation can acquire much time, and it's not considered to misuse the mold maker's time if you don't require too much information or when you won't actually get from them. - Don't "STEAL" a mold maker's property. The information and recommendations provided by your mold maker keep on being their own intellectual property- you can't merely bring these tricks to other people to get it done. Should you come up with another moldmaker, in that case, consider their recommendations agreeable - not just is employing someone else's suggestions, it is not fine. However, it may also obfuscate the minds of your chosen mold maker, who won't comprehend precisely why those recommendations were created initially. - Try to develop a relationship with your mold maker. Simply by doing business tightly with your moldmaker when considering costs, schedules, and component amount anticipations, you will have the know-how to behave as a crew to attain better outcomes over time. - Have an Open Door Policy with your mold maker overall course. Many mold makers will love to present routine development information and maintain you up-to-date around the most recent advancements with your construct. It's essential to understand things are all moving to routine fully, so when you require any specific details, make it a point to inquire about what allows you to relax. - You should definitely pay on time. Most mold makers get the job done to constrained resources and will need costs to be settled before they can move forward with your project. Should you postpone paying, then you certainly won't receive a mold by the due date - it's so simple as that. Various mold makers will present diverse settlement strategies, so meet with these people to develop a strategy that is effective for the two of you. - A modification of your component structure will almost certainly indicate altering the injection mold as well. Should you change your component structure as the injection mold is being developed, you won't obtain the mold at the cost offered or to the primary schedule. Any modifications indicate the mold must be modified as a result, which increases both the expense and the duration of the mold construct. - Recognize ahead of time when mold will be ready. There are various explanations on a finalization time - some may vary from once the final settlement is completed to the time you be given a trial component to the delivery of the finalized item. Typically, an injection mold is recognized as finished when it is in a position to create the component it is for. The vast majority of mold makers will be ready to come up with tiny modifications to ensure a component as outlined by design. If these measurements alter later hanging around, in that case, the injection mold should be regarded as finished - the actual modifications should be given money via an ECO. - If a product is an unreasonably low price, you will typically find an explanation for that. While you will see mold makers on the market who present you with a cheaper-than-average price for a top-notch product or service, we will see many others who present reductions as they spend less money on their own. Over time, it's preferable to pay big money for a high-quality product or service instead of obtaining headaches by using a mold that doesn't meet your requirements. When you buy an injection mold, that age-old proverb is unquestionably correct - it gives you everything you pay money for. Any specifically shaped parts that you develop are only just like the mold employed to manufacture them, which means you should make certain that plastic mold is flawlessly designed for your requirements before purchasing it.   Read the full article

Learn About the Process of Injection Moulding Machine!
Injection moulding is a method of producing plastic products. Even though it looks to be a simple approach, the final product is the culmination of numerous steps. Injection moulding, which is carried out by injection moulding manufacturer in Delhi, is a typical way of manufacturing plastic products and materials. This entails pouring molten plastic into a built-up mold cavity. From the plastic components of our electronic gadgets to the plastic covers on our home appliances, and from the plastic interiors of our vehicles to the screw-top plastic lids on our soda bottles, many of the ordinary objects we see around us have been created in this manner.
The injection unit and the clamping unit are the two main components. Depending on the size or kind of application required, injection moulding machines in Delhi can install molds in either a vertical or horizontal position. A variety of cold or hot runner devices can be used to get the plastic into the mold cavities. This would also be determined by the thing being created. Although producing plastic products with an injection mould appears to be simple at first (plastic material is injected into a mold, allowed to cool, and then removed when ready), there are more complicated steps required for injection moulding manufacturers in Delhi to carry out this seemingly simple process. . The six key phases are as follows: Clamping-The clamping device does exactly what it says. The injection and cooling processes are possible because the mold is kept together under pressure. Injection moulding manufacturer in Delhi use a method that involves forcing molten thermoplastic material into a mold under pressure after it has been heated in a machine. More hydraulic or mechanical pressure is applied after the molten plastic has been injected into the mold to guarantee that all of the mold's cavities are filled. The plastic is allowed to cool and solidify inside the mold during the cooling and solidification process. Once the mold has been opened, the movable platen is removed from the fixed platen to isolate the mold. As a result, the injection moulding manufacturer in Delhi completes the ejection process by utilizing rods, a tray, or an air blast to entirely separate the plastic component from the mold.

Different cap die components and steels use different techniques to ensure better polish and longer life. After vacuum quenching, the hardness of the cap model core and cavity can reach HRC 42-45, and the thimble can reach HRC55.
3. Runners
We use cold runners to reduce the cavities of cap molds For cap molds with more cavities, we recommend using a hot runner system. Each cavity is independently controlled by a temperature controller, making the temperature error up to 2 degrees Celsius to improve product quality and production efficiency. Our hot runner systems come from world-renowned brands, such as HUSKY.MASTER.YUDO.SYNVENTIVE, etc. Besides, we recommend you reliable hot runner system (made in China) to get more competitive price for cap mould with hot runner system.
4. Processing
(1) All machining is done by EDM and high-speed CNC machining center;
(2) We grind the moving parts such as the thimble to prolong the service life of the mold;
(3) High-precision mold processing and standard design, so that every part of the cap mold can be interchanged;
(4) The assembly of the cap mold is completed by a professional manufacturer to ensure the quality of the mold;
5. Cap mold cycle time and life
We offer two different options to meet reasonable cycle times:
(1) For water bottle cap molds and ordinary injection molding machines, the cycle time is generally around 12 seconds.
(2) The water bottle cap mold adopts fast cooling material and high-speed injection molding machine, and is equipped with reasonable auxiliary machines. The cycle time is generally 6 to 8 seconds. It uses good steel grades, reasonable heat treatment, and precise processing. The number of cap molds is at least Can reach 2 million times.

4 Steps To Help Getting An Accurate Plastic Mold and Plastic Parts Offer From China
Tumblr media
With the continuous improvement of mold manufacturing and mold workers' skill in China, more and more European and American companies have dropped their purchase orders to Chinese plastic mold factories. The continuous deepening of information exchanges between the two sides has greatly promoted China's mold industry development. It is simple to deal with China's mold and injection molding suppliers for those buyers who often purchase in China. But for those who first came into contact with this mold industry, it was a very troublesome thing, especially in dealing with China's mold factories outside of thousands of miles. Language and technical communication constitute two significant obstacles. Many people who bought customized plastic parts in China for the first time were completely unfamiliar with this industry. Also, this industry is technology-intensive. The quotation requires suppliers and buyers to have a good interaction. The most important is how the buyers express their ideas to the suppliers. It is precisely at this point that many buyers do not know how to handle it. They often ask the supplier for a price from the very beginning. In fact, the price given by the supplier at this stage is very inaccurate. I will introduce the preparation process before the quotation of molds and molded parts so that buyers can have a clear understanding. The manufacture of injection-molded parts is a very complicated process. The first is the manufacture of molds, followed by injection molding, and the second operation of injection-molded parts, which involves transferring a lot of information. The top priority is how the buyer expresses his product requirements clearly to the supplier. In many cases, suppliers are required to quote only in the case of a hand-drawn drawing. Sometimes there is no requirement for plastic materials. Buyers just mentioned adjectives like "soft "and "hard" to describe the stuff he wants. In fact, this is incorrect.
Tumblr media
The side location difference above will lead to total different mould cost, 1. side hole high cost,2 and 3 location holes are better.
4 Steps for plastic mold quotation:
#Consult with experts
Tumblr media
The correct way is to find an injection molding engineer or mold engineer around you to consult with them. This early investment is necessary, and this investment will be paid off in the future. Of course, I would be happy to provide you with this service, but at this time, it is challenging for me to quote you also. You should find a very experienced engineer and tell him, face to face, what you think, the requirements for the product, the quantity requirements, the assembly requirements, and so on. He will give you good advice based on your actual situation. During this period, he will tell you which plastic material to choose, how to design the product, how to assemble it, and how to arrange a reasonable quantity. #CAD design
Tumblr media
After the above is completed, the 3D drawing design of the product can be performed. You can tell the design engineer your requirements in great detail. They will make the appropriate design according to your needs. #Rapid prototyping
Tumblr media
After the preliminary design is completed, you should do rapid prototyping at this stage to check whether your design intent has been achieved for new developments or changes to the old product. Rapid prototyping allows inspection of the appearance, assembly, and strength of a designed product. Modify the problematic design and make a new 3D printing. Repeat this process until the final 3d printing meets the requirements. This cost is relatively small, with a short time, and it can avoid costly and time-consuming mold changes later. In China, generally speaking, the cost of a small 3D printing is about 50 to 60 US dollars. This step may save you thousands of dollars later. #Quotation
Tumblr media
After this stage, you can give your potential suppliers a chance to quote the changed design. My article on this topic is very detailed about how to deal with Chinese suppliers.
How to copy existing products
Of course, if you want to copy existing products at this stage, you can send the product directly to the supplier and tell them your specific requirements. Fees can be deducted after the transaction. If you have only one sample and inconvenient to send it, you can take a picture of the sample. According to the three-view standard, you show suppliers a sample photo. Mark the position and size of the undercut, dents, and holes in each direction on the picture. In the photo, the size of the product is identified in detail, i.e., the length, width, and height. In theory, the six sides of the product must be photographed. The more detailed photograph is, the better it is. #Case 1 " order_by="sortorder" order_direction="ASC" returns="included" maximum_entity_count="500"]# Case 2

It is best to find the specifications of plastic materials on the sample and indicate the location and size of the gate.

These plastic materials usually appear in the form of a triangle. In the end, you still have to send this sample to your final supplier to facilitate their design.
4 main points related to plastic mold and injection part price
- Quantity The number of purchases dramatically determines the price of the product and the plastic mold. As long as the product is only 10,000, do not put forward a requirement of 500,000 because 10,000 shoots required mold steel, mold design, and processing methods are entirely different from the 500,000 requirements. If the number of products is 10,000, the four-cavity mold can meet the requirements. If it is 500,000, the mold will require 10, 12 cavities or higher. The more cavities are, the higher standards of the steel material and processing requirements will be. This will lead to a significant increase in the material cost and processing cost of the mold. The considerable quantity shares these costs. If the quantity is small, then the cost-sharing of each product will be high. A case I have encountered a case where there is an ABS molded product. The annual demand is 1500 sets. It is internally threaded and needs to be unscrewing. If you need a full-automatic unscrewing mold, the cost will be high, and if the thread is made into an insert. The cost of the mold is only about 2/3 of the fully automatic mold cost, and the increase in injection molding cost is only small. - Color In general, dark-colored products need lower prices than light-colored products. Because the regrind material can be used in some cases, if it is a white or transparent product, the regrind material is difficult to use, which will increase the supplier's raw material costs. Frequently, the runner material and the new material have the same effects. The barrel of the injection molding machine is sometimes not so clean, so sometimes other colors will mix in. If the product requires transparency or white, this product is defective. If it is a dark color or even black, it cannot be seen. This product is good. - Tolerance As we all know, the processing cost of a loose tolerance plastic part is much lower than that of the tight one. Molds with tight tolerances have very stringent requirements for processing and mold steel and even require a unique injection molding process. - Plastic materials In general terms, the plastic we choose should be conventional plastics, not engineering plastics. Nylon66 flare-retardent grade "v0" price is more than four times the conventional PP plastic. The cost of the ordinary ABS is 1.5 times the price of PP. If it is mass production, the cost difference is great. Some plastics are corrosive, so there is a higher demand for the steel of the mold. This will also increase the manufacturing cost of the mold. There are also higher requirements for mold maintenance. The price of the steel s136 level is more than five times that of the steel p20. Among the three methods mentioned above(autocad files, samples photograph and samples), sending supplier samples directly is the best method. In this way, the molder can clearly know the product's structure and can also find out the structure of the previous mold. Research on off-the-shelf samples can avoid many detours in mold building and injection molding products. In short, before the quotation, the more the supplier knows your requirements and the specific structure of the product, the better it is so that the accuracy of the quotation can be guaranteed to the greatest degree. At the same time, it ensures the smooth progress of the project.
How To Buy The Plastic Mold Easier
You might consider it was challenging to purchase an injection mold because there will be a great deal of to and fro between purchaser and molder before when the last item is concluded on. Nevertheless, the few suggestions here can help conserve lots of time and help make the entire procedure a bit simpler.
Tumblr media
- Produce an RFQ that explores a wide range of specifics. As experienced as mold makers are usually, they won't manage to go through your head when considering what you're interested in. Consist of as numerous details as possible during this period, like the variety of cavities, the material, the required life expectancy of your mold, and any specific warranties you may require. Should you aren't very confident on such subjects, then inform your mold maker, and they will be ready to show you how to choose what's proper for your requirements. The more precise you come up with your RFQ, the more correct an offer you will get for your efforts. - Be honest about the reason why you need an offer. Should you require an overall quote to spread to a different unit, then let the mold maker fully understand- they are going to get back to you then rapidly. Developing a precise quotation can acquire much time, and it's not considered to misuse the mold maker's time if you don't require too much information or when you won't actually get from them. - Don't "STEAL" a mold maker's property. The information and recommendations provided by your mold maker keep on being their own intellectual property- you can't merely bring these tricks to other people to get it done. Should you come up with another moldmaker, in that case, consider their recommendations agreeable - not just is employing someone else's suggestions, it is not fine. However, it may also obfuscate the minds of your chosen mold maker, who won't comprehend precisely why those recommendations were created initially. - Try to develop a relationship with your mold maker. Simply by doing business tightly with your moldmaker when considering costs, schedules, and component amount anticipations, you will have the know-how to behave as a crew to attain better outcomes over time. - Have an Open Door Policy with your mold maker overall course. Many mold makers will love to present routine development information and maintain you up-to-date around the most recent advancements with your construct. It's essential to understand things are all moving to routine fully, so when you require any specific details, make it a point to inquire about what allows you to relax. - You should definitely pay on time. Most mold makers get the job done to constrained resources and will need costs to be settled before they can move forward with your project. Should you postpone paying, then you certainly won't receive a mold by the due date - it's so simple as that. Various mold makers will present diverse settlement strategies, so meet with these people to develop a strategy that is effective for the two of you. - A modification of your component structure will almost certainly indicate altering the injection mold as well. Should you change your component structure as the injection mold is being developed, you won't obtain the mold at the cost offered or to the primary schedule. Any modifications indicate the mold must be modified as a result, which increases both the expense and the duration of the mold construct. - Recognize ahead of time when mold will be ready. There are various explanations on a finalization time - some may vary from once the final settlement is completed to the time you be given a trial component to the delivery of the finalized item. Typically, an injection mold is recognized as finished when it is in a position to create the component it is for. The vast majority of mold makers will be ready to come up with tiny modifications to ensure a component as outlined by design. If these measurements alter later hanging around, in that case, the injection mold should be regarded as finished - the actual modifications should be given money via an ECO. - If a product is an unreasonably low price, you will typically find an explanation for that. While you will see mold makers on the market who present you with a cheaper-than-average price for a top-notch product or service, we will see many others who present reductions as they spend less money on their own. Over time, it's preferable to pay big money for a high-quality product or service instead of obtaining headaches by using a mold that doesn't meet your requirements. When you buy an injection mold, that age-old proverb is unquestionably correct - it gives you everything you pay money for. Any specifically shaped parts that you develop are only just like the mold employed to manufacture them, which means you should make certain that plastic mold is flawlessly designed for your requirements before purchasing it.   Read the full article

The cost of the mold is only about 2/3 of the fully automatic mold cost, and the increase in injection molding cost is only small. - Color In general, dark-colored products need lower prices than light-colored products. Because the regrind material can be used in some cases, if it is a white or transparent product, the regrind material is difficult to use, which will increase the supplier's raw material costs. Frequently, the runner material and the new material have the same effects. The barrel of the injection molding machine is sometimes not so clean, so sometimes other colors will mix in. If the product requires transparency or white, this product is defective. If it is a dark color or even black, it cannot be seen. This product is good. - Tolerance As we all know, the processing cost of a loose tolerance plastic part is much lower than that of the tight one. Molds with tight tolerances have very stringent requirements for processing and mold steel and even require a unique injection molding process. - Plastic materials In general terms, the plastic we choose should be conventional plastics, not engineering plastics. Nylon66 flare-retardent grade "v0" price is more than four times the conventional PP plastic. The cost of the ordinary ABS is 1.5 times the price of PP. If it is mass production, the cost difference is great. Some plastics are corrosive, so there is a higher demand for the steel of the mold. This will also increase the manufacturing cost of the mold. There are also higher requirements for mold maintenance. The price of the steel s136 level is more than five times that of the steel p20. Among the three methods mentioned above(autocad files, samples photograph and samples), sending supplier samples directly is the best method. In this way, the molder can clearly know the product's structure and can also find out the structure of the previous mold. Research on off-the-shelf samples can avoid many detours in mold building and injection molding products. In short, before the quotation, the more the supplier knows your requirements and the specific structure of the product, the better it is so that the accuracy of the quotation can be guaranteed to the greatest degree. At the same time, it ensures the smooth progress of the project.

- Produce an RFQ that explores a wide range of specifics. As experienced as mold makers are usually, they won't manage to go through your head when considering what you're interested in. Consist of as numerous details as possible during this period, like the variety of cavities, the material, the required life expectancy of your mold, and any specific warranties you may require. Should you aren't very confident on such subjects, then inform your mold maker, and they will be ready to show you how to choose what's proper for your requirements. The more precise you come up with your RFQ, the more correct an offer you will get for your efforts. - Be honest about the reason why you need an offer. Should you require an overall quote to spread to a different unit, then let the mold maker fully understand- they are going to get back to you then rapidly. Developing a precise quotation can acquire much time, and it's not considered to misuse the mold maker's time if you don't require too much information or when you won't actually get from them. - Don't "STEAL" a mold maker's property. The information and recommendations provided by your mold maker keep on being their own intellectual property- you can't merely bring these tricks to other people to get it done. Should you come up with another moldmaker, in that case, consider their recommendations agreeable - not just is employing someone else's suggestions, it is not fine. However, it may also obfuscate the minds of your chosen mold maker, who won't comprehend precisely why those recommendations were created initially. - Try to develop a relationship with your mold maker. Simply by doing business tightly with your moldmaker when considering costs, schedules, and component amount anticipations, you will have the know-how to behave as a crew to attain better outcomes over time. - Have an Open Door Policy with your mold maker overall course. Many mold makers will love to present routine development information and maintain you up-to-date around the most recent advancements with your construct. It's essential to understand things are all moving to routine fully, so when you require any specific details, make it a point to inquire about what allows you to relax. - You should definitely pay on time. Most mold makers get the job done to constrained resources and will need costs to be settled before they can move forward with your project. Should you postpone paying, then you certainly won't receive a mold by the due date - it's so simple as that. Various mold makers will present diverse settlement strategies, so meet with these people to develop a strategy that is effective for the two of you. - A modification of your component structure will almost certainly indicate altering the injection mold as well. Should you change your component structure as the injection mold is being developed, you won't obtain the mold at the cost offered or to the primary schedule. Any modifications indicate the mold must be modified as a result, which increases both the expense and the duration of the mold construct. - Recognize ahead of time when mold will be ready. There are various explanations on a finalization time - some may vary from once the final settlement is completed to the time you be given a trial component to the delivery of the finalized item. Typically, an injection mold is recognized as finished when it is in a position to create the component it is for. The vast majority of mold makers will be ready to come up with tiny modifications to ensure a component as outlined by design. If these measurements alter later hanging around, in that case, the injection mold should be regarded as finished - the actual modifications should be given money via an ECO. - If a product is an unreasonably low price, you will typically find an explanation for that. While you will see mold makers on the market who present you with a cheaper-than-average price for a top-notch product or service, we will see many others who present reductions as they spend less money on their own. Over time, it's preferable to pay big money for a high-quality product or service instead of obtaining headaches by using a mold that doesn't meet your requirements. When you buy an injection mold, that age-old proverb is unquestionably correct - it gives you everything you pay money for.
