Mold processing services are becoming more and more popular and are of interest to many customers. However, among the many units providing this service, many people find it difficult to choose. Because not every mold company provides high quality services, good prices and meets the maximum needs of customers. The content presented in the article below will help you better understand this service.
First, to better understand mold processing services, we need to clearly understand what molds are and the mold manufacturing process.
1. WHAT IS A PATTERN?
Here, the mold is a metal tool used for the purpose of shaping the product by the shaping method. Each mold is usually manufactured and used for a certain number of molding or pressing cycles (can take place once or many times). The structure and size of the mold will depend on the size, shape, quality and quantity of the product to be created.
The mold will follow the available models and the mold processing process produces product molds according to customer requirements. Through the available shape and framework to create a product that is exactly like the sample. But the important thing is to ensure the features, functions as well as not lose the effectiveness of the product.
2. WHAT IS THE MOLD PRODUCTION PROCESS?
Similar to mechanical products in general, the mold manufacturing process is based on 5 main technological processes as follows: Design, processing, heat treatment, measurement and assembly. In which, mold companies ensure that they undertake one or more processes. Some companies that provide mold manufacturing services even carry out the entire manufacturing process to create the final product.
Considering the same closed cycle of mold processing service from receiving orders, analyzing, processing, delivering as well as performing repair or replacement services for mold components. Almost all mold companies in our country participate in all stages. Some large companies are capable of operating in a closed cycle. Specifically, it includes all design work to measurement, assembly. Even directly using molds to produce and trade final products.
3. UNDERSTAND COMMON TYPES OF MOLDS
Nowadays, injection molds are widely used in industry to manufacture parts from many different materials such as: Plastic, glass, rubber and other inorganic substances. Mold processing services perform the processing of products from injection molds such as metal parts, aircraft, automotive plastics, electrical equipment, household appliances, wooden furniture, military equipment, consumer goods or medical products...
Molds used in plastic product manufacturing mold processing services include many different types such as: injection molds, blow molds, compression molds, machining molds, transfer molds, extrusion molds, casting molds or rotational molds. But the most common of these is the injection mold.
Dies are used to produce a wide variety of metal products and are used in methods such as extrusion, stamping, drawing, and forging. Stamped products are used in a wide variety of industries including aircraft, automobiles, furniture, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, electronics, household products, and many others.
4. APPLYING TECHNOLOGY TO MOLD PROCESSING SERVICES
Mold processing units today all apply technology in mold production. Specifically, we can review some applications such as:
4.1. CAD APPLICATION IN MANUFACTURING PROCESS
CAD is a computer design software and has been widely used in many different fields. This software allows designers to create product models in 2D or 3D drawings. This simulation drawing image ensures that its authenticity is nearly 100% perfect with the real product after completion.
With a plastic mold, if the complexity is high, CAD software will help simplify it a lot. This brings benefits in completing the sample quickly and accurately to perform mold processing. Many mold processing companies have applied CAD to make plastic molds with great efficiency.
4.2. APPLICATION OF CAM IN MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Similar to CAD, CAM is also a mechanical processing software of mold processing services installed on the computer. But here CAM is not only used to create designs but in general it is like the main operating system of the equipment and machines via computer. This software has the function of receiving data analysis, calculating and statistical parameters given from detailed CAD drawings to control CNC machine operation.
It is thanks to the use of CAM that the machine can be automated according to the pre-installed programming. At that time, the technician plays a role in monitoring and giving orders to the machine operation program. The mold products are successfully manufactured and the tolerance of the mold manufacturing process is limited to the maximum.
4.3. CNC APPLICATION IN MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Mold processing services also apply CNC in the process of making plastic molds. CNC is a high-tech, modern machine with almost absolute precision. CNC machines include lathes, cutting machines, milling machines or laser punching machines... New modern industrial machines.
CNC machinery systems operate automatically through programming in CAM software. In terms of product quality and quantity, we cannot argue because the level of assurance meets world-leading standards. Whether applied in large or small plastic mold processing services, CNC machines can create finished products with high precision.
New technology CAD/CAM and CND are both modern and advanced machinery software. It supports mold processing companies to perform best, creating a complete, unified system and operating process according to a strict process.
Thanks to the new technology in the mold industry, it ensures that it brings many outstanding benefits. Therefore, it gradually replaces the old mold processing service technology.
5. LASER MOLD ENGRAVING TECHNOLOGY
In mold processing services, laser mold engraving technology is considered to bring a series of important benefits to the mold tool manufacturing industry. One of the most wonderful benefits is the ability to process materials without contact, the ability to focus the beam to create durable engravings that are not easily damaged or peeled off.
And in fact, this non-contact processing helps to minimize the risk of damage as well as deformation of the mold. On the other hand, due to the non-abrasive nature of the material, laser mold processing technology ensures high precision, which can overcome a series of disadvantages of old methods. Applying mold processing services with this laser engraving technology brings the following advantages:
- Can engrave hard-to-reach work areas and convex or concave workpieces with extremely high precision.
- The ability to engrave at extremely fast speeds of about 1500mm/second means an increase of up to 30 times compared to previous old methods.
- Ensure safety for the surrounding environment because laser ensures no toxic substances are produced like axis engraving method.
6. THE MOST REPUTABLE MOLD PROCESSING SERVICE PROVIDER
