DHY Plastic Mould Factory-Plastic mould technic-mold making guidance

When your new product has already been designed and rapid prototype has been made ready for making mould, you will consider the following situations:

1. Our product is a new kind to be put into the market to decide whether or not to conduct mass production based on market benefit. Then you will have to face with the following questions:

A. What is the nature of the mould factory we are looking for: Foreign investment, Taiwan investment, Hongkong investment, or private enterprise?

B. The scale of the enterprise we are looking for：large scale, medium scale, small scale? If we choose a large scale mould factory, that means it will take expensive mould-sinking fees. And if you think that your product quality can not be guaranteed and there is no concerns about funds, then you can take a large scale mould plant as your preferential choice!

C. If you choose medium or small scale mould factory, then except mould price, what you concern about most is that whether the mould can be made in time with quality. We recommend that you choose a completely equipped mould plant which possesses necessary equipment of mould fabrication such as: CNC machining center, linear cutting, EDM, plastic molding machine. This is the key point for your choice because: if it has no these equipment, outsourced processing will be necessary for this plant, and this will not only increase your mode-sinking expense but also increase the processing time. Meanwhile, the overall outsourced process can not be monitored thus resulting in some contingencies which can not be solved timely.

D. Not to choose un-guaranteed processing shop because of cheap price, except that what you will make are only parts of the mould but not one complete set of mould!

2. Effectively decrease your mould cost: At first predict single quantity of the new product? If the quantity does not reach 500,000, we recommend not to harden the mould, because that way will only increase your cost by 1/3； besides adoption of mold core steels such as S136H，NAK80 etc. or thin-water-spout mould will also increase cost. Of course materials designated by the customer shall be excluded. And what is more important is: Whether or not the mould plant chosen by you attach importance on you which is very critical to you; If this mould plant attach no importance to you at all then it will muddle with your work, and you pay the money without any appropriate guarantee. That is the attitude of many present large scale mould plants not to accept or not to lay stress on small orders, because neither amount nor individual quantity meet their requirements.

3. Finally we recommend to select mould plant according to self situations and characteristics, and conduct objective evaluation on mould in order to obtain satisfactory cooperation！
