Our offer
Extensive experience allows us to design equipment for complex parts along with full technical documentation specifying the production or processing conditions. Our molds are used in various industries, both by large production plants and small private companies.
Software used
We use Solidworks 2020 to design both the parts and die-casting molds. It also enables us to easily modify the existing models, what is crucial in the preparation stage, as rapid modifications may be necessary in a response to new requirements. We provide full technical documentation - 2D drawings and 3D models, which can be used directly in the toolmaking process.
Through simulations performed in Magmasoft, it is possible to experiment with various parameters of the injection process, such as melt temperature, injection speed, injection pressure, etc. This allows to identify the optimal settings which provide the best quality products. Pinpointing problems in advance helps to avoid costly errors and a necessity for numerous mold modifications.
We offer professional die-casting mold manufacturing services in collaboration with our suppliers. We outsource tool building to the specialized and proven toolshops based on either our or supplied designs. This ensures the high quality of tools, which directly affects the quality of parts that are made out of it. Proven contractors and sub-suppliers of standard parts guarantee timely deliveries and competitive prices.

...what's next?
Process characteristics
- Analysis of a model and changes aimed at adapting it to the production conditions (inclining the walls, adjusting the wall thickness, implementing stiffening ribs, etc.)
- Analysis of a future production process (at this stage, the designer takes into account the complexity and features of the manufactured product, selects the injection point and the type of gating system - hot runner or cold runner, determines the number of cavities in the mold, and selects the required technological parameters of the injection molding machine (clamping force, injection volume), and finally estimates cycle time
- Selection of mold body dimensions and arrangement of forming elements in the body
- Design of the gating system and, if required, analysis of melt flow using dedicated CAE tools;
- Design of the cooling system
- Design of the system for removing the casting from the mold (systems used to demould the parts may be mechanical or pneumatic)
- Development of the mounting system and arrangement of transport handles
- Preparation of design documentation.
The time needed to develop the documentation, the cost of the mold and product, and the time to produce them depend largely on the estimated number of pieces, material, part size, weight of the casting, complexity of the configuration and accuracy of the product, technical requirements, production time, customer requirements, etc.
