What is plastic mold manufacturing?


For plastic products, an excellent mold must not only be capable of forming the product but also ensure dimensional accuracy, structural stability, smooth demolding, reliable service life, easy maintenance, and efficient mass production. Hongqing has its own mold manufacturing team, equipped with Sodick EDM machines, Sodick wire EDM machines, Makino machining centers, and large-scale machining equipment. Mold machining accuracy reaches ±0.01 mm, enabling the development of medium-to-large plastic molds up to 1.5 meters in size, and facilitating seamless integration with 1,300-metric-ton injection molding machines for trial runs and mass production ramp-up.

Hongqing Mold Manufacturing Services


Hongqing provides customers with one-stop services ranging from mold design to mold manufacturing, focusing on product structure, mold life, machining precision, mold trial validation, and mass production stability. We focus not only on whether a mold can be manufactured, but also on whether it is suitable for subsequent injection molding mass production and whether it can ensure long-term, stable production.

Mold Design and Structural Evaluation


Before manufacturing a mold, the engineering team evaluates the parting line, gate design, ejection mechanism, cooling system, and demolding method based on the product’s structure, material properties, aesthetic requirements, and mass production needs, thereby mitigating risks associated with subsequent mold testing and mass production in advance.

Precision Mold Machining


The company is equipped with high-precision machining equipment, including Sodick EDM machines, Sodick wire EDM machines, and Makino machining centers. Mold machining accuracy can reach ±0.01 mm, meeting the machining requirements for high-precision plastic molds, molds with complex structures, and molds for precision plastic parts, thereby ensuring the accuracy of key mold dimensions, assembly stability, and consistency in subsequent mass production.

Manufacturing of High-Durability Mass-Production Molds


For products with electronic functions, we can assist in evaluating the layout of components such as PCBs, batteries, buttons, interfaces, displays, light positions, speakers, and sensors to ensure that the electronic design integrates seamlessly with the plastic structure, thereby reducing risks associated with later assembly and functional testing.

Medium- to Large-Scale Mold Manufacturing Capabilities


Hongqing has the capability to develop and manufacture medium- to large-sized plastic molds, with a maximum mold size of 1.5 meters. Equipped with large-scale machining equipment, we can meet the mold manufacturing needs for products such as large structural components, industrial enclosures, home appliance parts, and automotive parts. Combining our 1,300-metric-ton injection molding machine with our experience in medium- and large-scale injection molding, we provide customers with integrated support ranging from large-scale mold development to trial runs and mass production.

Mold Testing, Validation, and Optimization


Once the mold is complete, we can conduct trial runs in collaboration with the injection molding shop to verify the mold’s performance, inspecting product dimensions, appearance, flash, shrinkage, warpage, assembly results, and molding stability, and optimize the mold based on the trial run results.

Integration of Molds and Injection Molding Mass Production


Hongqing offers integrated mold manufacturing and injection molding capabilities. Once mold development is complete, the process seamlessly transitions to trial runs, mass production, surface treatment, and assembly and delivery, reducing the costs associated with repeated communication between the customer and the mold manufacturer and injection molding facility.

Frequently Asked Questions


Yes. Customers can provide 3D drawings, 2D engineering drawings, product samples, visual renderings, or functional requirements. Hongqing can use this information to conduct structural evaluations, design mold solutions, and manufacture molds. If the customer’s information is incomplete, we can also assist with product structure optimization and pre-mold evaluation.

Hongqing has its own mold manufacturing team and machining equipment, enabling it to handle all stages of the process, including mold design, precision machining, assembly, trial runs, and optimization. Having an in-house mold shop allows for better coordination with subsequent injection molding production, reduces communication time, and improves the efficiency of mold modifications and mass production ramp-up.

Yes. Hongqing can develop complex molds featuring sliders, tapered cores, inserts, undercuts, and multi-cavity designs based on product structural requirements. These molds are suitable for consumer electronics housings, automotive parts, industrial enclosures, home appliance components, 3C products, and other precision plastic parts.

Equipped with high-precision machinery such as Sodick EDM machines, Sodick wire EDM machines, and Makino high-speed machining centers, we can meet the machining needs for precision plastic parts, complex structural components, and medium- to large-sized plastic molds. We integrate mold design reviews, machining process control, assembly inspections, and mold trial validation to ensure mold precision and mass production stability.

Yes. Hongqing has integrated capabilities in mold manufacturing and injection molding. Once the mold is completed, it can undergo trial runs in the injection molding workshop, and optimizations can be made based on the sample’s dimensions, appearance, and assembly. After confirmation of compliance, the process proceeds to mass production, surface treatment, and assembly and delivery.

We ensure quality control through processes such as mold design reviews, precision machining, mold assembly inspections, mold trial validation, and optimization of molding issues. The company is equipped with machining equipment such as Sodick EDM machines, Sodick wire EDM machines, and Makino machining centers, enabling mold precision of up to 0.01 mm and ensuring the accuracy and stability of critical mold components.

Before tooling is initiated, it is necessary to confirm details such as the product’s structure, materials, appearance requirements, assembly methods, dimensional tolerances, surface finishes, and mass production quantities. We conduct structural and process evaluations prior to tooling to help customers identify in advance any issues that may affect mold manufacturing, injection molding, and subsequent assembly.
