Basic Injection Mold Knowleage
What is Injection Mold?
An injection mold is a tool used in manufacturing to create plastic parts by injecting molten plastic into a mold cavity under high pressure. Once the plastic cools and solidifies, the mold is opened, and the finished part is ejected.
Injection Mold Manufacturing processes step by step
- Product development and optimize
- Prototype to check the part
- Mold Design
- Moldflow to optimize the mold design
- Order the steel, Moldbase, and mold component
- Gun drilling for the cooling line
- CNC rough manufacturing on the cavity and core inserts, slides, and lifters
- Heat Treatment
- CNC fine manufacturing the cavity and core inserts, slides, and lifters
- EDM manufacturing
- Wire Cut manufacturing
- Fitting the mold
- Polish
- Assemble the mold
- Mold test
- Sample checking
- Mold improvement
Injection Mold Advantages
- Automation and high production rate
- Material and color Versatility
- Plastic material can be recycled, and minimal waste
- Consistent quality and high tolerance precision
- Flexibility design, Parts can be complex shapes
Injection Mold Disdvantages
- Initial tooling cost is high
- Limited flexibility after the mold is done
- Long lead time
Injection Mold Design key consideration
- Uniform wall thickness
- Draft angle optimization
- Cavity number based on part volume
- Steel material selection based on the plastic material, surface requirement, and part volume
- Gate system
- Efficient cooling design
- Venting and ejection system
- Easy Mold Maintenance
injection Mold steel
Steel | Hardness | Properties | Plastic Material Applications | Surface Finish |
---|---|---|---|---|
H13 | HRC48-52 | Excellent toughness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity. Maintains hardness at high temperatures. | PC, PMMA, PP, PE, PA+GF | SPI A1, A2, B1, B2 |
S136 | HRC48-52 | Excellent corrosion resistance and dimensional stability. Good toughness, wear resistance, and polishability. | PC, PMMA, POM | SPI A1, A2, B1, B2 |
NAK80 | HRC38-42 | Excellent dimensional stability, wear resistance, and mirror polishability. | PC | SPI A1, A2 |
P20 | HRC28-32 | Good wear resistance, toughness, and machinability. Can be heat-treated for higher hardness. | ABS, PE, PP | SPI A1, A2, B1, B2 |
P20H | HRC32-37 | Similar to P20, but with higher hardness and improved wear resistance. | ABS, PE, PP, PET | SPI A1, A2, B1, B2 |
Injection mold Manfaucturing Tolerance
The manufacturing tolerance for injection molds can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the mold design and the materials used. However, in general, the tolerance for injection molds is typically within +/- 0.005 inches or +/- 0.01 mm.
It’s important to note that some features of the mold may require tighter tolerances, particularly if they are critical to the function of the final product.
In addition to manufacturing tolerances, it’s also important to consider the tolerance of the final product. This refers to the allowable deviation in the dimensions and features of the plastic parts produced from the mold. Understanding and controlling both the mold manufacturing tolerance and the part tolerance is crucial in ensuring high-quality injection molded parts.
