We specialize in plastic injection mold development, with particular

expertise in:

  • Automotive lighting molds (e.g., headlamp and tail light molds)

  • OEM and ODM component molds

  • Multi-color injection molds (single to four-color tooling)

Q2: Do you offer a full-service solution from design to production?
Yes, we provide a fully integrated mold development service, covering:

  • Product structure design and DFM consultation

  • Mold flow (CAE) analysis and design optimization

  • Mold design, 5-axis CNC machining, deep-hole drilling, and assembly

  • Mold trials (T1/T2), adjustments, and after-sales maintenance

Q3: What is the typical lead time for mold delivery?
Lead time depends on the complexity, size, number of cavities, and technical

requirements of the mold. A detailed project evaluation is provided before

confirming the schedule.

Q4: What is your mold manufacturing process?

precision and efficiency. Our standard workflow includes:

  1. Mold design (CAD/UG)

  2. 2D/3D drawing and mold split

  3. CNC machining

  4. EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)

  5. Manual fitting and mold assembly

  6. Trial molding (T1) and final delivery

Q5: Do your molds require heat treatment?
Yes, we apply heat treatment to specific mold components that are prone

to wear or subject to frequent movement under load.
