Injection moulds

How are injection moulds created?

1. Project of the element

  • a three-dimensional model of the element (3D model)
  • establishing cast alignment
  • the choice of materials used to create the element (taking shrinkages into consideration)
  • surface finishing (surface quality, texture, structure, colour – the final finish of the product)
  • tolerances of the manufactured element
  • method of delivery of the element, considering installation requirements

2. Project of the injection mould

  • the choice of materials for the mould
  • division – outlining the elements of the mould and choosing normalised materials
  • considering the type of connection with the moulding machine to be used
  • considering cast shrinkages
  • checking the mould elements’ collision factor
  • preparing CNC programs and the technology used to create the mould

3. Mould creation

  • purchase of materials
  • manufacture of projected elements – CNC milling
  • hardening
  • grinding
  • EDM processing (die-sink and wire-cut)
  • surface cleaning
  • threading
  • matching
  • socket inspection
  • tightness inspection

4. First test of the mould

  • mould functionality check
  • manufacturing first elements
  • measurement of the manufactured elements after the initial tests
  • quality evaluation

5. Post-test mould adjustment

  • removal of flashes
  • dimensional adjustment
  • surface finishing according to the project specification
