14 Important Facts That You Should Know About China Plastic Mold Price

China Injection Mold Cost

Many buyers who purchase injection molds from China are solely focused on saving money. However, this isn’t the right attitude to take, since you’ll ultimately want a mold that works properly and is reliable, instead of just being cheap. How much a plastic mold tool will cost is dependent on several different factors. You should, therefore, request the  information when getting a quote.The checklist below details the various areas of interest that you need to consider when purchasing a mold:
  • How many check dimensions are required on the print- this will determine the cavity complexity, as well as the part tolerances
  • Surface finishes which will be necessary
  • Number of necessary tight tolerances and their requirements
  • Any required functions in mold operating, such as unscrewing or lifters.
  • Balanced cooling requirements- these can  determine  tolerances.
  • Part resin
  • Number of cavities in the part, determined by tolerances and part volume required
  • Tool type, e.g. hotrunner, two plate, or three plate
  • the size and complexity of its parts,
  • the gating direction
  • the tools steel used
  • the mold accessories brand
  • an estimated cycle time
  • and a guaranteed lifespan.
For instance, a three plate or hotrunner may be more expensive at first, but unlike two plate tools, they don’t need anyone to operate them or separate the runner. This will mean that you save money on the piece part price, even though the tool cost is higher. With this information in hand, you will be able to calculate the costs for yourself, and see just why some companies set their prices higher or lower. When you have answered all of those questions, you’ll want to figure out the amount and type of materials and components that you’re going to need, and use supplier catalogs to come up with a total cost. While all of these costs will eventually be recouped once a certain number of parts have been produced, it’s important to note that the real cost will also have to take into account the manufacturing process and the molding cycle as well. Don’t put the full responsibility for tool buying on your purchasing department, though. That’s because there will likely be factors that they don’t fully understand. Make sure that you determine and specify your tool requirements in full before you start the buying process. Ideally, you’ll want to choose the right tool for the lowest cost, produced by an experienced and knowledgeable molder.

Why those important

Part size- bigger parts mean a bigger mold, which means that the steel cost for the injection mold will be increased. Part design- the more complex a part is, the more detailed the mold has to be. Some complicated parts will require special features to be added, such as lifters or sliders. You should therefore be open to advice from your mold maker, and see if there’s anywhere that you can alter the part design to save on injection mold costs. Materials-depending on the part material of choice, the injection mold will have to be made of a particular material too. For instance, if a corrosive plastic like PVC is to be used, then the mold will have to be stainless steel to avoid any damage- which will ultimately bump the price up. Part finish requirements- where parts have high gloss surface requirements, then more expensive steel and precise technical polishing will be vital, which further add to the price. Production volume- higher volume molds need more cavities, and so the mold will be larger. They also require a higher grade of steel to last for longer, and this has an impact on the injection mold cost. Country of manufacture- different countries have different wage rates. If your mold is made in a country where labor costs are low, then you’ll naturally save money. In China, the average cost of an injection mold is around 40% less than in western nations. http://res.cloudinary.com/dl8a9jvpa/video/upload/q_36/v1515562285/Gate_Locations_xsub9b.mp4 https://www.plasticmoulds.net/costs-of-injection-molds-in-china?feed_id=34&_unique_id=629c2209c3829

What Is Plastic Mold?   What is plastic mold? The tooling used for plastic injection molding is called plastic mold or plastic injection mold . Most plastic products are molded by plastic molds. Plastic molds are divided into two types: thermosetting and thermoplastic mold ,according to the molding plastic characteristics. Based on the molding process, the plastic mold is divided into plastic injection mold, blow mold, casting mold, pressing mold,and so on. The injection mold is made up of two main sections: the moving half and the fixed half. The moving half is mounted on the moving platen of the injection molding equipment, and the stationary half is mounted on the stationary platen. Over the injection molding, the moving and the stationary half are shut to develop an injection structure and a cavity structure. Once the mold is open, the moving half and the stationary half are split up to clear away the plastic item from the plastic mold. As a way to decrease the mol...

Injection product stress mark solution

On plastic injection products, especially for raw materials such as ABS, PP and PC, you will often see shiny stress marks on the surface of products, such as injector pin stress marks, insert stress marks and stress marks of wall thickness difference . These apparent shiny, white markings are the result of internal stresses , which are nothing more than orientation and cooling shrinkage stresses. The irregular stress marks near the gate are caused by the typical orientation stress, and the difference of wall thickness is the result of orientation and contraction stress, those stress marks are made by ejector pins and sliders . Normally , with the increase of holding pressure and time, the first occurrence is the stress mark of wall thickness difference, the stress mark of ejector pin, then the stress mark of meat thickness difference, and finally the irregular stress mark near the gate (gray section will appear on the side), which of course also depends on the specific structure of the...
