Common Types of Rapid Tooling

We offer various types of mold tooling, depending on your specifications and applications. From prototype mold tooling to production and export molds, HYmoldplastic is your reliable partner.

Aluminum Mold Tooling

This is the ideal choice for prototype injection molding because it is a cost-effective means of producing injection molded parts. Using aluminum ensures dimensional stability in the mold tooling, significantly reducing waste production and part deformation during production. Aluminum molds are also easier to cut, thereby reducing tooling costs by up to 25%. Using aluminum molds also reduces cycle times by 30-40%. All of these combine to ensure faster turnarounds.

Steel Mold Tooling

Steel is a high-quality, solid, and sturdy material with a longer life cycle. It is more suitable for high-volume production runs and for producing molds from engineering-grade plastics. Despite its long life cycle, it is more expensive than aluminum and may require more time to produce mold tooling and prototypes.

Experts in Tool Design

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) in tooling focuses on optimizing mold designs to enhance the efficiency and quality of the injection molding process. By considering factors such as ejection and cooling, gate placement, mold flow analysis, draft angles, and part consolidation, we ensure the tooling is tailored to produce high-quality parts with minimal defects. Our DFM expertise reduces cycle times, improves product durability, and minimizes production costs, ensuring an efficient and cost-effective manufacturing process.

Ejection and Cooling Considerations

Plan for Ejection: Ensure the design includes features that facilitate easy ejection, such as ejector pin locations. For example, flat surfaces for ejector pins to push against on the base of a complex component.

Efficient Cooling: Design parts to allow for effective cooling within the mold to reduce cycle times and improve quality. For example, designing a part with consistent wall thickness allows for uniform cooling.

Gate Placement

Optimize Gate Locations: Proper placement of gates ensures uniform filling and minimizes defects. For example, placing the gate at the thickest section of a part helps ensure proper flow and reduces the risk of sink marks in thin areas.

Mold Flow Analysis

Conduct Mold Flow Analysis: Use simulation software to predict the flow of molten plastic, identify potential issues like air traps, weld lines, or hotspots, and adjust the design accordingly. For example, simulating the injection molding process for a car dashboard can help optimize gate locations and cooling channels.

Draft Angles

Include Appropriate Draft: Adding a draft angle (typically 1-2 degrees) on the walls of the part allows it to be easily ejected from the mold. For instance, a plastic cup should have slight tapering walls to facilitate ejection.

Part Consolidation

Reduce Number of Parts: Where possible, consolidate multiple parts into a single molded piece to reduce assembly time and cost. For example, designing a single-piece snap-fit housing for a small electronic device instead of multiple interlocking parts.
