⚫🔴 INSIDE THE MOULD MAKING PROCESS ⚫🔴 1. Design and analysis – The process starts with concept sketches and CAD models. Engineering analysis via mould flow and FEA predicts fill rates, stresses, and cooling behaviour. 2. Mould base selection – Standard mould bases in common sizes are selected to hold components. 3. Manufacturing – Mould cores, cavities, and components are CNC machined from tool steel or aluminium alloys. 4. Polishing – Critical functional surfaces are hand polished or textured for required finish. 5. Assembly – Components are assembled into the mould body. Guide pins ensure alignment. 6. Trial(s) – Sample parts are moulded to test filling, cooling, ejection, and make tuning refinements. 7. Finishing – Any assembly marks are removed. Final hand polishing and coating completes the mould. If you would like to get a FREE QUOTE for a Tool, then get in touch via email! ⬇ 📧 Email: [email protected] #precisionthrougheverything

⚫🔴 MOULD TYPES: TWO PLATES, THREE PLATES & BEYOND ⚫🔴 ⚙ Two plate moulds are the most prevalent, consisting of core and cavity halves separating along a parting line. Multi-cavity moulds have multiple part impressions. ⚙ Three plate moulds add an extra side to provide easier access for complex geometries needing side actions or lifters. ⚙ Unscrewing moulds don’t split on a parting line. Instead, the core unscrews from the base, enabling undercuts. ⚙ Injection blow moulds use a parison mould to form an initial tube, then a blow mould inflates it into its final shape. ⚙ Expandable moulds have movable cores that withdraw from the part for easy ejection. Pins and cams control core movement. If you would like to get a FREE QUOTE for a tool, then get in touch via email! ⬇ 📧 Email: [email protected] #precisionthrougheverything
