Have you ever wondered crabs, toys, containers and game consoles are made of plastic? It’s pretty interesting! Plastic mold making is an exceptional process used to create these fun necessaries and use productsg. Moldie is a trusted whose diligent work helps to high-quality molds. These molds allow us to create the same plastic products repeatedly, so that they’re all identical and they all function in the same manner.
What Is Plastic Mold Making?Plastic mold making is a specific skill that refers to the process of creating a mold (a shape used to shape melted plastic into various shapes and sizes). You know how a cookie cutter presses dough into fun shapes? Well, a mold is essentially the same except it does it with plastic! It’s an art and a science process. Understanding how plastic works — and how they design things so they snap together just right — is critical to being a mold maker.
Thats where our team of specialized mold makers enter the scene, developing Computer-Aided Design (CAD) 3D modelling as per client specification at Moldie. It means we can preview the mold without even having made it yet! Once the design has been finalized and approved by the client, the mold maker executes the actual mold using high-precision machines. This is a crucial step because a good mold is fundamental to producing excellent plastic products.
They’re skilled craftsmen and artisans who specialize in making custom molds tailored to each client’s specifications. It doesn’t matter if a client requires huge molds for large products, or small molds for tiny items; Moldie’s mold makers know how to be creative and innovative with their concepts. They are constantly finding new ways to make their designs and processes better.
The first part of making plastic that is molded is choosing what kind of plastic product needs to make. This is crucial as it will dictate the whole process. After that our mold makers use their artisanship along with the CAD software to design the 3D model of the mold. It’s kind of like making a picture of what the mold is going to be! Once finished and approved, we move on to the fun part of actually creating the mould itself.
The mold maker is meticulous in choosing the materials, which is based on the requirements of the client. These include how smooth the surface must be, how strong the mold needs to be, and how many products must be produced. They also consider the molding process that will be used (injection molding, blow molding, compression molding, etc. Each of these approaches entails different procedures and prerequisites.
Moldie is wholeheartedly dedicated to offering our clients the most optimized mold-making solutions according to their unique specifications. So, our team of mold makers keeps up to date with the latest machines and technologies and combines their skills to create the best custom molds.
