Plastic Injection Mold Opening Time [Professional Answer]

 

Some customers want to customize their products, but conventional plastic molds don't fit the dimensions, requiring a re-mold. Injection mold opening is a complex process, and re-opening generally takes a long time. To understand the mold opening time, you need to understand the specific time required for each step.

Injection mold manufacturing begins with confirming the model of the plastic mold to be produced. Specific parameters, such as the required thickness and strength, the number of reinforcing ribs required, and the number of molds to be produced at once, must be determined.

 

After confirming these with the customer, the manufacturer begins preparing materials for production. The production of the master mold is a relatively complex process, requiring the material and process to be determined based on the mold's lifespan. Production is then completed and processed. After the mold is completed, a trial mold is required. If no issues are identified, production can begin. If adjustments are required, the mold must be modified promptly. However, this modification process is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive, taking approximately 20 days. Therefore, re-molding is a relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Generally, if the project does not have specific requirements, we can consider replacing the mold with a plastic mold of similar size.
