Production Tooling Service
Capabilities and Service
Yes Prototype excels in making accurate molds for high-quality plastic parts, providing quality, timely delivery, and competitive prices. To ensure the molds can be used repeatedly without degrading, we employ premium raw materials, smart design, precision machining, and advanced molding process analysis tools. From intricate airplane parts to basic kids' toys, our Production Tooling services cover a wide range of applications.
Expertise in Production Tooling
Our team of skilled Production Tooling technicians and experts can manufacture precise plastic injection molds tailored to your requirements. Designed to withstand high-volume production while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances, these molds benefit from our meticulous process control and positive material identification. This ensures consistent and quick cycle times, as well as minimized cost per piece for complex parts and assemblies.
Material Selection for Injection Molds
Each type of material offers varied levels of corrosion resistance, toughness, thermal efficiency, and polishability. Tool design complexity, injected resin type, part surface polish requirements, and expected production quantities all influence the tool steel selection. The quality and service life of the injection-molded part are determined by the material used in the mold. We provide a range of material grades for injection molds utilized at different stages of product development. The materials most frequently used include stainless steel (420, NAK80, S136, 316L, 316, 301, 303, 304), tool steel (P20, H13, S7, NAK80, S136, S136H, 718, 718H, 738), and aluminum, which is substantially less expensive than both stainless steel and tool steel.
Cost Factor of Production Tooling
Production Tooling costs are complex and influenced by several factors, including design complexity, number of cavities, type of mold steel, surface finish, and the use of a hot runner system. Cycle times and cost per piece are important considerations for high-volume production in order to maximize efficiency and minimize overall costs. Multi-cavity molds require a higher initial investment than single-cavity molds due to increased material, labor, and energy requirements; however, this investment may not be cost-effective for small batches, where a single-cavity mold may be more suitable.
