Custom Injection Molding Tooling Manufacturing
What is Tooling in Injection Molding
Injection molding tooling refers to the custom-designed mold used to shape the molten material into the desired final product. The tooling is a critical aspect of injection molding process as it determines the molded part's geometry, surface finish, and overall quality.
At Erye, all our injection mould and tooling are designed and produced in-house. Our production molds are typically made from durable materials like tool steel, which can withstand the high pressures and temperatures encountered during the injection molding process, able to withstand millions of shots.Types of Custom Mold & Tooling We Offer
Your Reliable Injection Mold Tooling Maker
DFM & Mold Flow Analysis
At Erye, we offer DFM(Design for Manufacturability) report, our engineers evaluate the part design thoroughly to identify and resolve any potential challenges, to ensure the mold can be manufactured precisely and perform reliably during production.
By mold flow simulation, we analyze material flow dynamics, pinpoint areas prone to defects such as warping or voids, and optimize key features like gate locations and cooling channels.
