Tool Trial And Validation
Mould tooling is the creation of bespoke moulds that produce the parts in plastic injection moulding. The moulds consist of both moving and fixed platens which are clamped together at the beginning of the process. Molten plastic is then fed into the clamped mould at a very high pressure. Air is then pumped into the mould to ensure the plastic is uniformly covering the entire mould cavity. The plastic is then cooled and hardened within the mould before the platens release and the mould tool opens. This is a very rapid process.
Typically, these injection moulding moulds would be constructed from hardened steel due to steel’s strength and hard-wearing properties. The choice of injection mould material depends on the mass production volume. For example, steel moulds are more expensive to construct but they have a longer lifespan which offsets the initial mould tooling costs, therefore, hardened steel moulds are suitable for higher injection moulding production volumes. At Amtek we tend to steer clear of aluminium moulds as we are set up for quality high volume manufacturing.
UK Mould Tool Trial
We will work closely with you throughout the process, from initial design consultations to final injection mould tooling production. Here at Amtek we utilize UK, European and Chinese mould tooling manufacturers, ensuring flexibility and cost-effectiveness for your project.
