The design of produced injection moulds focuses on helping customers reduce development costs, generally using P20 steel or NK80, and typically withstanding over 100,000 cycles.As long as we continue to make your parts in our facility, we will maintain and repair the tool as needed at our cost.
At Formexmold, every injection mold is built under ISO 9001 standards with CNC tolerances as tight as ±0.01 mm and strict trial-run verification, ensuring durability and production stability for mass manufacturing.
Select high-strength steel or other aterials based on design requirements, and perform necessary pre-treatments (e.g.,quenching, annealing, or tempering) o enhance durability and machinability.
We utilize advanced equipment for machining mold components, including CNC machining to ensure precision for complex parts, electrical discharge machining (EDM) for creating intricate cavities and high-precision mold components, and wire cutting to achieve precise cuts and detailed finishes.
Perform heat treatment to improve the hardness, strength, and wear resistance of mold parts, ensuring robustness for high-strength production.
Apply surface treatments such as polishing, plating, or nitriding to enhance surface smoothness and durability, ensuring stable performance during production.
Assemble machined components into a complete mold, ensuring all parts fit seamlessly and comply with design specifications.
After initial assembly, conduct multiple rounds of testing and trial production to evaluate the mold’s performance. Make necessary optimizations to ensure it meets actual production needs.
We have access to over 50+ metals and plastics to use for any manufacturing process.
AluminumOne of the most common metals used in machining. It is highly malleable, which makes it a great machining choice. It has a high thermal conductivity, making it suitable for manufacturing parts to be used in high-heat applications. It also has various types used in multiple applications.It is for prototype mold.
P20 (P20H)Also known as low-carbon steel. Has good malleability and high tensile strength—also a very cost-effective choice for suitable applications.Hot work mold steel material.
718 (718H)718H is a pre-hardened mirror-finish acid-resistant plastic mould steel, corresponding to China’s GB standard 3Cr2NiMo, Germany’s DIN standard 1.2311, Sweden’s ASSAB standard 718, USA’s AISI/SAE P20 improved type, Japan’s JS standard SNCM improved type, and the international standard ISO 35CrMo2. This chrome-nickel-molybdenum alloy steel is vacuum melted and pre-hardened (33~38HRC), featuring no risk of distortion during heat treatment, excellent polishing performance, and high hardenability, and it supports nitriding and flame hardening (up to 52HRC).It is for prototype mold.
2344(H13)Renowned for its lightness and strength. It also has high corrosion resistance, so longevity is assured. Its excellent strength-to-weight ratio makes it a great choice for high-strength applications. It also has a low thermal expansion coefficient, making it less susceptible to expansion due to heat.It is for prototype mold.
2083(420SS)Quite visually appealing due to its beautiful aesthetics. It is also very durable and corrosion resistant, making it an excellent choice for many plastic molding manufacturing applications.It is stainless steel.
Choosing the right injection mold for your project is crucial, as different mold types will directly impact production efficiency, product quality, and cost. Based on your needs and production scale, there are various types of injection molds available.
Model House is a place focused on model making, providing the tools, materials and space needed for making models, allowing people to realise their own creativity and ideas.
