The quality of mold design accounts for over 80% of mold quality. Factors such as mold precision, service life, manufacturing cycle time, mold standardization, and the company's level of innovation determine mold quality. HUIWEN Injection Molding Manufacturers is sharing its mold design experience, hoping to provide valuable insights.
An excellent mold design is one that meets customer requirements while minimizing costs, complexity, and time. This requires designers to carefully analyze and digest the customer's product drawings and templates, and gain a thorough understanding of injection molding machines, mold structure, processing techniques, and the mold manufacturer's own capabilities.
1. At the beginning of each injection molded product design, determine the mold opening direction and parting line to minimize the impact of the core pull mechanism and eliminate the parting line on the appearance.
2. Understand every detail of each mold design and the purpose of each component within it.
3. Refer to previous similar designs and understand the mold processing and product production processes to learn from their experiences and lessons.
4. Understand the mold trial results and mold modifications of your own mold design, and learn from any lessons learned.
5. An appropriate draft angle can prevent product damage.
6. When designing injection molded products, comprehensively consider the trade-offs between product appearance, performance, and process.
7. Design the snap mechanism so that multiple snap positions are shared, preventing malfunction due to damage to individual snap positions, thereby increasing service life. Additionally, consider adding rounded corners to enhance strength.
8. When designing, try to utilize previously successful mold structures.
9. Research specialized mold structures and learn about the latest mold technologies.
10. Consider multiple options, weigh the pros and cons of each, and select the best one.
