Regarding the injection mold opening cycle, this issue cannot be generalized. It should be considered from multiple factors, mainly from the product design structure, size, requirements, number of holes, product performance and other aspects. Shibang injection mold processing factory is a collection of plastics A modern enterprise integrating mold manufacturing and injection molding processing. Since its establishment, the company has built a manufacturing brand based on the business philosophy of honesty. Years of injection mold opening experience tells us how to respond to customers' questions about the injection mold opening cycle. Today we will briefly explain to you how long the injection mold opening cycle takes.

Injection mold opening

1. Product structure: refers to the structural difficulty of the plastic samples provided by the customer, which can generally be understood as follows: the more complex the shape of the plastic part, the more difficult it is to make the mold. Technically speaking, the more parting surfaces of plastic parts, the more assembly positions, buckle positions, holes, and rib positions, the greater the processing difficulty. In both cases, the mold making time will be correspondingly prolonged. Generally speaking, as long as the mold structure is more complex, its quality will be lower, the processing difficulty will be greater, the problem points will be more, and the final product effect will be slower.

2. Product size: Yes, the larger the size, the longer the cycle of plastic mold processing. In contrast, the processing time of spare parts will be longer.

3. Product requirements: Different customers have different requirements for products. Whether the designed appearance surface is sub-surface or glossy or mirror surface will affect the production cycle of plastic molds.

4. Product material properties: Our products often have special requirements, and the requirements for mold steel and processing technology are also different. For example, our Shibang injection molding process has made molds for medical and cosmetic packaging materials. The purpose of adding ceramics is to insulate and fire. Generally Used in led lighting. The mold requirements are different. The mold needs to be hardened. After hardening, the precision grinding machine will be processed twice, and the subsequent processing will be more difficult. Naturally, it will take a little more time. There are also some molds that require anti-corrosion or soft plastic molds. All will be different, and the manufacturing process will be more complicated.

5. The number of cavities of the mold: that is, a set of molds has several holes, and a set of molds produces several products. It depends on the size of the customer’s product market. There must be a difference between two products and one product. Processing The time will also be different. Normally, because the market for new products has not been fully opened, the market demand for this product is not so great, at this time the number of holes in the injection mold is not so much, and the market supply can be guaranteed, and the cost performance is relatively highest. Of course, after the product's market is matured, the number of cavities of the mold must be increased. It depends on the market demand to determine whether to change the number of cavities to feed back the market demand.

The above are the major factors that determine the opening cycle of injection molds shared by Dongguan Shibang Plastics. The general mold manufacturing cycle is about 20-25 days. The specific time is mainly for the specific mold. Generally, the supplier will have a conservative time. If the product is really in a hurry, you can negotiate with the supplier to shorten the time, but occasionally during the production process. Unforeseen circumstances may occur, so the actual situation prevails. After the injection mold is processed, the processing of plastic parts is not that complicated. As long as the personnel and the machine are in place, the production cycle is basically easy to calculate.
