A mold is a model, and products are made according to this model, but how the mold is produced, most of them except mold professionals may not be able to answer. Molds have played an irreplaceable role in our lives. Most of our daily necessities are inseparable from molds, such as computers, telephones, fax machines, keyboards, cups and so on. Needless to say, plastic products, in addition, the outer covers of automobiles and motorcycle engines are also made of molds, and more than 20,000 molds are used for a single automobile. Therefore, the role of molds in modern life is irreplaceable, as long as mass production is inseparable from molds.So how is the mold made? The following is a brief introduction to the modern mold production process. 1) ESI (Earlier Supplier Evolvement): This stage is mainly a technical discussion between the customer and the supplier on product design and mold development. The main purpose is to let the supplier clearly understand the design intent and precision requirements of the product designer, and at the same time let the product designer better understand the mold production capability and product process performance, so as to make a more reasonable design. 2) Quotation: including the price of the mold, the life of the mold, the turnover process, the required tonnage of the machine and the delivery date of the mold. (A more detailed quotation should include information such as product size and weight, mold size and weight.) 3) Order (Purchase Order): Customer order, issuance of deposit and acceptance of supplier order. 4) Production Planning and Schedule Arrangement: At this stage, it is necessary to reply to the customer on the specific date of delivery of the mold. 5) Mold Design (Design): Design software that may be used includes Pro/Engineer, UG, Solidworks, AutoCAD, CATIA, etc. 6) Purchasing materials 7) Mold processing (Machining): The processes involved generally include turning, gong (milling), heat treatment, grinding, computer gong (CNC), electric spark (EDM), wire cutting (WEDM), coordinate grinding (JIG GRINGING), Laser engraving, polishing, etc. 8) Mold assembly (Assembly) 9) Mold trial (Trial Run) 10) Sample Evaluation Report (SER) 11) Sample Evaluation Report Approval (SER Approval) The production process of the mold has been explained to everyone, and the next issue will introduce the design principle of the mold.We welcome more people to pay attention to our company, ZHUHAI BAOLI FOAM SPRAY PUMP CO.,LTD.
