Injection Mold Design Engineering

Injection Mould Design Engineering is a procedure at the first stage of injection molding process, which develops the injection mold designs to improve the effectiveness and efficiency in injection molding. Plastic mold design technical team of R&D and engineers of Keyplast is diligent for every project from our clients. As a leading plastic injection mold maker in China, Keyplast could assist our clients to make 2D/3D designs per the samples or concepts and bring their ideas into reality. If any defects, our team will offer professional suggestions and take rapid modifications for every project.

Plastic injection mold design is a procedure after confirmation of product design and before molding process. In the mold industry, there's never a one-size fits for all project. For each project whether you send us a sample or a 2D file, we always work with you to make improvements for all technical drawings including 2D files, 3D files of the product. You can start from sharing important details about your project, then our designers will run an analysis on your plastic mold tooling design and make adjustments for injection molding accordingly. With correct injection molding part designs , parts can be manufactured with well consistency and high quality, but without good injection molding mold designs, you may make costly processing mistakes.

Mold flow Analysis simulates the flow of plastic materials to improve the products and plastic mould design, so to create products of high quality. Mould flow analysis could help you to have a virtual look into how the plastic materials fill the cavities of the molds. It could help to analyze the moulding process before cutting the steel, thus saving money and time.

3D Printing is a process to produce a 3-dimensional part by using a CAD file. The objects are created layer by layer using a variety of different plastic molding materials and layer bonding techniques, with the types of FDM, SLS, SLA, PolyJet and etc. Compared to CNC process, 3d printed injection moldcould easily achieve a higher level of complexity through rapid prototyping, but 3d injection molding requires less tooling cost at lower volumes, like Multi Jet Fusion. But regarding the manufacturability, wall thickness is a key consideration to ensure parts in sound structure.
