we specialize in delivering expert custom plastic injection molding services

Generally, STEP is the most widely used format, supported by most design software for conversion. Our design tools include UG and SolidWorks.

It’s important to note that we occasionally receive files in STL format. However, STL files are suitable only for 3D printing and cannot be used for mold machining. Converting STL files to STEP format, if requested, will incur additional charges.

Absolutely, but we need detailed information about the product’s use. This includes what the product is, its operating environment such as high/low temperatures, whether it’s used outdoors or indoors, and if it requires resistance to corrosion, flame retardancy. Additionally, we need to know the required mechanical properties like strength and toughness (impact resistance). With this information, we can help select the most suitable plastic material for your project.

Yes, we offer custom color matching based on client requirements. Colors can be customized according to RAL or Pantone codes. However, this method is not perfectly accurate due to slight variations among different color card editions. We have noticed this through our collaborations with many color matching suppliers, thus providing a color sample is more preferable.

There are two methods for color matching: adding color powder or masterbatch at a later stage, or having the color pre-mixed at the raw material factory. The latter requires a larger purchase quantity.

The lead time for injection molding projects varies based on the complexity, precision, and size of the mold. Typically, the production cycle for an injection mold ranges from 25 to 40 days. The initial samples produced using the mold are referred to as T0 samples.

Following the inspection of T0 samples, modifications to the mold may be necessary. This could include design adjustments or corrections to meet the specified dimensions. After modifications, the next set of samples, known as T1 samples, are produced. This cycle can take an additional 15 to 25 days, with additional time for shipping and inspecting the samples, totaling about 30 days.

In summary, the complete process from the start to the completion of a mold generally takes about 2 to 3 months. Sometimes, a second round of modifications is required, although this is less common.

Efficient communication during the sample inspection and problem-solving process is crucial. Without it, the overall timeline may extend further.

We do not impose restrictions on the MOQ. For some products, the quantity might be as low as 100 pieces. We hope this will lead to more orders in the future, but it’s perfectly fine if it does not.

However, please note that smaller orders may have longer lead times. This is because these orders are typically processed during the intervals of other production schedules, especially when there are specific production conditions required or additional post-processing involved.

To ensure our injection molded products meet specifications, we implement rigorous quality assurance measures. These include material inspections, mold design reviews, precise control of the injection molding process, initial product inspections (FAI), continuous production monitoring, and thorough final quality checks.

Additionally, we actively seek customer feedback for continuous improvement. This comprehensive approach guarantees that our products consistently meet high-quality standards and customer expectations.

For the exported injection molds, we ensure quality through comprehensive measures including mold design review, precision machining and inspection, and mold trial runs. Our approach covers all aspects from raw materials to design, manufacturing, and trial operations to guarantee mold quality. Throughout the mold-making process, we keep our clients updated on progress. Before shipping, we conduct a 4-6 hour trial run to ensure mold quality meets expectations. We encourage clients to communicate any additional requirements before production begins.

Certainly! We provide a comprehensive range of secondary operations and finishing services, including surface treatments such as painting, plating, screen printing, pad printing, and laser etching. Additionally, we offer welding, machining, and assembly services among others to meet the diverse needs of our clients and ensure their projects are completed to the highest standards.

If your project with us involves confidential information, it is essential to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before initiating the collaboration. This ensures that we are aware of the project’s confidential nature and also allows us to enter into similar agreements with our suppliers. In our communications with them, information will be limited to the minimum necessary on a need-to-know basis.

However, understanding the product’s application scenarios helps us ensure its quality, so clients should carefully consider their needs and share useful information with us. This balance allows us to maintain confidentiality while also receiving the context needed to deliver the best possible outcome.

We specialize more in the production aspect of product design rather than aesthetics, as we are not a professional design firm. While we collaborate with many designers, the initial design phase requires extensive communication with clients and an understanding of their cultural background, which we find challenging. However, we are confident in our ability to design for functionality. You can see an example of our work by clicking on this link.

Absolutely, if requested, we will promptly ship the mold to you, though such situations are rare. Generally, once customers start to have their molds made and kept at our facility for production, it’s uncommon for them to retrieve the molds midway through the process.

Yes, generally speaking, the subsequent maintenance and updates of the molds are our responsibility. This makes sense because if the production profits far exceed the cost of the mold, then we can take responsibility for creating a new mold when its lifespan ends （usually they last 100,000s shot）.

However, if the production quantity is very low and there have been no orders for production over 3 years, this may lead to the mold being scrapped or needing repairs, and this is not something we would cover.

For mold costs, we generally require a 50% down payment, with the remaining 50% paid after sample confirmation.

For product production, we usually require a 30% down payment, with the remaining 70% paid before shipment. However, we will carefully inspect the product quality and send the inspection results before shipment.

Currently, our customers are located in the United States, Australia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Turkey, Greece, and other countries.
