We made a set of plastic injection mold for a UK company. This set of injection mold is a soft tool, which is used for customizing plastic parts in low volume production. Due to the injection molded plastic parts are suitable for medical use, so ACO Mold propose to add 3.5% antimicrobial additive in the parts. So the plastic product material is ABS + UV + 3.5% Antimicrobial additive.

Before mold manufacturing, we did DFM in PPT form. Then the DFM was sent to customer for comments and confirmation.
Customer’s comments on DFM as below:
Mold Layout – OK
Parting Line – OK
Gate position – OK
Draft angle analysis – OK with us if it is OK with you
Ejector pin positions – OK
Wall thickness – I have modified the base file and enclose a step file “prime IoT base 1_3″”
The wall thickness that customer modified is ok. Then we went ahead with mold 3D design.

After mold design was confirmed, we ordered steel and mold base for injection mold manufacturing. We went into mold manufacturing stage. 4 weeks for mold making, including sampling. ACO Mold regularly reported mold making progress such as EDM machining, polishing, and mold fitting via sending pictures or videos to customer.

After injection mold making was done, we did T1 sampling. Then T1 samples were shipped to customer for comments. Customer tested them after receiving samples. They are very satisfied with them, and the mass production of injection molded parts was approved.
