What factors affect the mold opening cycle of precision injection molds?

In order to process a set of precision injection molds, there are many factors to consider before the precision injection molds

are designed and processed.The mold opening cycle of precision injection molds is affected by many factors,

mainly including product structure, product size, product requirements, product material properties, and the number of mold cavities. ‌

‌Product structure‌: The more complex the shape of the plastic part, the more difficult it is to make the mold. The more parting surfaces,

assembly positions, buckle positions, hole positions, and rib positions of the plastic part, the more difficult it is to process, and the time tomake the mold will be extended accordingly.

‌Product size‌: The larger the product size, the longer the processing time of the mold and spare parts.

Large-sized products require more processing time and energy to ensure accuracy and quality‌.

‌Product requirements‌: Different requirements of customers for products will affect the production cycle of the mold.

For example, the treatment of the appearance surface (subsurface, glossy or mirrored), dimensional accuracy, assembly position

tolerance, etc. will increase the complexity and time of processing.

‌Product material performance‌: If the product has special requirements, the requirements for the steel used in the mold and the processing technology will also be different, which will increase the difficulty and time of processing.

‌Number of mold cavities‌: The number of cavities (number of mold cavities) on a set of molds will also affect the mold opening cycle.

The more mold cavities there are, the longer the processing time‌.

‌Customer feedback speed‌: Plastic molds are customized products, and customers are required to confirm the details.

The customer's feedback speed directly affects the mold factory's schedule‌.

‌Manufacturing process difficulty‌: The more complex the shape of the plastic part, the more difficult it is to make the plastic mold,

and the longer it takes.

‌Customer expected output‌: The customer's expected output determines the number of mold cavities.

A large expected output requires more cavities, and the production time will be extended accordingly.
