After the plastic mold processing is completed, it generally will not be put into production immediately. Before the injection molding of the new plastic mold, trial molding is an essential step. The quality of the trial molding results will directly affect the smoothness of subsequent mass production. However, the number of trial moldings also relates to certain production costs.

The quality of the trial molding results will directly affect the smoothness of subsequent mass production. However, the number of trial moldings also relates to certain production costs.

 

What impact does an increase in the number of trial moldings have?

If it is found that the product does not meet the requirements after trial molding, although the process parameters and mold design of the plastic mold can be optimized, the production cost of the plastic mold will also increase. If an unreasonable mold structure is discovered after testing, it will be necessary to modify the mold, which will significantly increase injection production costs.

How to reduce the number of trial moldings for plastic molds?

The number of trial moldings for a set of plastic molds depends on the following points:

1. Whether the product structure from the client is reasonable.

2. Whether the structure of the plastic mold is reasonable and complete.

3. Whether the processing technology arrangement for plastic mold parts is reasonable.

4. Whether quality control during the processing of plastic molds is appropriate.

5. Whether the trial molding is effective.

6. Whether the modification plan is effective.

By addressing the above six points, it can greatly reduce the number of trial moldings for plastic molds and lower production costs.
