Mold design is a basic but important part in injection molding, regardless of the size and position of the gate, the size of the shear edge, flow assist, cooling and ejector technology, all affect the final mold injection results. It is no exaggeration to say that mold design has a significant impact on the cost-effectiveness and quality of molded parts and your products.
About Precision Molding
Precision injection molding is a highly technical process and requires the use of precision molds and precision machines. The process of precision molding differs from conventional injection molding techniques. The process is required for the development of precise plastic parts with complex geometries that can replace high precision metal parts for various industrial applications.
The precision of a part is largely dependent on the precision injection mold and its suitability to meet the design engineering requirements.
Precision Injection Mold
The precision of the mold is a result of various factors including:
How Does Precision Molding Work?
The process of molding plastic by CNC machining into an exceptional price and calculated shapes is known as polymer optics.
Technique
The process of precision molding requires that every piece of the product is developed identically and will be attached in an identical manner.
If a product is not identical to the mold design then the precision product will also not be accurate. A precise mold is the only way to ensure that there is no change in the design in any way.
Applications of Precision Molding
Precision injection moulding mold is used in the development of a wide variety of products as stated earlier. But the technology truly revolutionized the development of lenses in various applications as it allowed for the contract manufacturing of glass free lenses that were cheaper and much stronger.
Glass lenses are highly delicate, harder to make, and expensive, but plastic optic lenses have truly revolutionized the optics industry.
Precise molding is used in the development and mass production of precise spherical, diffractive, freeform, aspheric and other types of lenses that are high-quality products and have perfect optical surface finishing.
