For plastics items moldie is well aware of plastic molding being used extensively. The specific tool that forms the plastic during molding is referred to as shot mold. It functions like a cookie cutter that aids us in baking cookies in distinctively shaped sizes and sizes. In the absence of shot mold, we can not manufacture various shapes and designs of the common objects we use. Imagine attempting to assemble a toy without a mold (mold, mold, mold)! It would have been very tough to get the right shape. So, shot mold plays an important role in transforming liquid plastic into useful solid products.
Not all shot molds are created equal and Moldie knows that. So different projects require different molds to make them work and achieve the best results. The shot mold selection is crucial because it determines the quality of the final product. For example, you might want to do a thing with details, something small (like a toy with little impressions), you need a mold that can create those little impressions. If the mould is not appropriately fitted for the toy, it could be messy or not function properly. This is why at Moldie we give our customers the time they need to find the perfect shot mold for the project they have in mind. Then they can create amazing products and people will love using them
Moldie knows good mold plastic injections are supposed to last for decades as long as they are taken good care of. However, if you do not maintain them properly, they can get damaged or broken. Here are some of the most common issues that can arise with shot molds and how to prevent them:
Lack of Proper Maintenance – Shot molds need to be cleaned and checked regularly to keep them functional. If washing your hands keeps you healthy, cleaning the molds keeps them healthy, and keeps them from wearing out. Cleaning and checking regularly can prevent issues and ensure the molds remain in optimum condition.
Bad Materials – An other problem is bad materials for making the shot molds. Low quality mold with be wearing out quickly and not working properly. Our molds at Moldie are manufactured with quality materials. This helps them to last longer and do their job effectively.
Misuse – Some people may not use the mold correctly. If the mold is misapplied, it may shatter. Proper use of the mold—from teaching people how to use the mold to collateral issues around getting people fed—will help to ensure that this doesn't happen. Well trained users could learn how to avoid making mistakes with mold by being careful.
We innovate mold improvement and mold optimization constantly. New technology is allowing us to make more complex molds and have higher precision. Methods such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are used to construct our molds. With these technologies, we can plan and build molds faster that best fit our purposes. They also allow us to test the molds more quickly. This means that we can determine whether everything works perfectly before we begin to produce products. Utilizing these advanced utilities allows us to ensure we meet customer requirements in our moulds as we continue to evolve.
