The injection mold-making process comprises six key steps.
1.1 Production arrangements are made, defining mold requirements and scheduling.
1.2. A Design for Manufacturability (DFM) report is analyzed, offering insights into design feasibility and cost estimates.
1.3. Mold production commences, involving mold design, tooling, heat treatment, assembly, and rigorous quality control. A tooling schedule is provided to keep clients informed about the process.
1.4. Producing free samples for client testing. Once approved, the mold proceeds to.
1.5. Mass production.
1.6. The mold is meticulously cleaned and stored for future use, ensuring its longevity and re-usability.
Tolerances are important in injection molding; without proper specification and control, assembly issues can arise. At Foxstar, we adhere to the ISO 2068-c standard for molding tolerances, but can accommodate tighter specifications if needed.
Once an order is placed, mold design and creation typically take around 35 days, with an additional 3-5 days for T0 samples.
At Foxstar we offer a wide range of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials suitable for various applications. Some common materials include ABS, PC, PP, and TPE. For a full list of materials or custom material requests, please contact with us freely.
We have no minimum order requirement. However, larger quantities will get more competitive price.
