How to make high-quality molds

Due to its high productivity, efficiency, and manufacturability, injection molding is a popular method for manufacturing plastic products. The mold is designed with special inserts. Selective laser melting 3D printing has been used to manufacture inserts with conformal cooling channels inside.
Plastic bucket mold is one of our most important injection molds. In order to produce high-quality bucket molds, we must pay attention to the details of many links, the most important of which are the following three points:
1. Bucket mold design and structure. High-quality mold structure is the premise of qualified plastic bucket mold.
2. Bucket mold material. In order to improve mold life and product quality, we increase the hardness of mold steel through heat treatment.
3. Bucket mold cooling system. The design of the cooling system is a tedious task, that is, it is necessary to consider the uniformity and cooling effect of the cooling, as well as the impact on the overall mold structure, to determine the exact location and size of the cooling system
Rapid tooling technology is being developed and proven to be a reliable method that can compete with subtractive technology for tooling. Although people are looking for affordable alternatives to avoid the use of tools, in most cases, rapid manufacturing is an alternative method.
