How to get a quality two color mold??
- Well, the first should be the product design, as we all know it is the base to start the project! A good product designer should know how the two component materials will flow, to avoid any over flow or shrinkage problem in the future molding process!
- Second should be the mold design! Experienced mold designer should correct and precision choose the location of two materials melting! In additionally, should design the multi color mold to make it durable and easy adjustment! As we all know, many countries will be very difficult to handling the mold modification! Also time is money especially for the production! So to have the mold easy maintenance for long time manufacturing is the key!
- Here comes the turn of the steel machining! CNC machine has many different levels to its precision quality, also the mold cost will be differs great much from this step. Anyway to get a precision two shot mold, should use the high speed CNC, for example HAAS from USA, to reach 0.02mm!
- And the finally should be all the spare parts that used! For example O-rings, springs, hydraulic cylinder, etc. As we know for example some Huangyan locally springs, after it stretch but it can not be able to compress back again! It is really ridiculous! So branded spare parts should be used to avoid such stupid mistakes happen!
