Plastic mould design

Mould design for the plastic injection moulding process is a crucial step.

Accurate mould design is crucial to ensure the production of high-quality plastic components, as well as optimising the efficiency of the production process.

What is plastic mould design?

Mould design is the first and fundamental phase in the production of a plastic part. It is at this stage, in fact, that a feasibility analysis is made, a drawing is created or perfected, a 3D model is designed and any defects are corrected, to ensure a final product of the highest quality, avoiding waste of time and money.

How plastic injection moulding is done

Metalstampi deals with the design of plastic moulds in the following types:

Plastic mould design also includes complementary activities such as feasibility analysis and Mold Flow analysis.

How mould design is done

The first step in the creation of a plastic product is obviously the design. It is at this delicate stage that the feasibility of the design delivered to us is verified, and we proceed with virtual simulation using sophisticated 3D and CAD/CAM software. Thanks to these computerised techniques, we are able to create three-dimensional objects from vector drawings, which help us to minutely observe every smallest detail and modify as necessary before creating a prototype of the object.

Prototyping is then the next stage, which is just as important because it allows us to touch the quality of the finished product. We therefore make a few prototypes and test them in detail. After correcting any inaccuracies, we move on to the large-scale moulding phase, saving energy, time and costs.

Stages of mould design

Mould design is a complex process involving several critical steps to ensure successful production.

Analysis of product specifications

Choice of materials

Detailed design

Analyses and simulations

Mould construction

Assembly and testing

Adjustments and optimisation

Prototype production

Documentation

Large-scale production

These mould design steps are crucial to ensure quality, efficiency and safety in the plastic injection moulding process. Metalstampi provides each of its customers with specialised expertise and attention to detail, helping them to achieve the best possible results.
