Frequently Asked Questions

1. Mold Specifications: Provide detailed specifications of the mold you require. Include information such as the type of mold (e.g., injection mold, blow mold), the size and dimensions of the mold, the complexity of the part(s) to be produced, and any specific features or requirements.
2. Material Requirements: Specify the type of material you intend to use for the molded parts. Different materials may require specific considerations in mold design and manufacturing, which can impact pricing.
3. Quantity and Lead Time: Clearly state the expected quantity of parts you will need to produce using the mold. Additionally, mention the desired lead time or the timeframe within which you require the mold to be ready for production.

Germany, China, the United States, Japan, Italy, and Brazil are nations wherein the mould-making industry extensively utilizes HASCO components. These countries possess substantial sectors dedicated to mould-making and have enthusiastically adopted HASCO’s standardized mould components to enhance their manufacturing processes.

It is crucial to acknowledge that although HASCO enjoys popularity in Europe and DME in North America and Canada, its applicability is not limited exclusively to these regions. In reality, HASCO and DME standard mold components have garnered users and market share globally, finding wide-ranging utilization in various other areas and countries.

Tight tolerances are critical in the medical industry as they ensure that the part functions as intended. Some elements of the injection molding process that can impact tolerance control include:

Size and design of the plastic part — Characteristics such as wall thickness, draft angles, and overall product size can all have significant impact on tolerances. Expertise in injection molding is required to avoid product defects, warpage, shrinkage, void areas, and splitting or cracks.
Material selection — Selecting the right material for your specific application is critical. The various types of plastics used in injection molding are all unique in their chemical and physical properties. Therefore, some materials will work much better under certain conditions than others. Choosing a manufacturing partner with knowledge and experience can help you find the right material for your needs.
Tooling — Decisions such as gate and cooling channel placement, along with injection pressure, melting temperature, and ejection pin location are all essential for ensuring the quality of the end-product. Collaborating with a partner who understands the importance of these decisions is vital.
Consistent process controls — Sometimes, after the first few batches are made in full-production, minor tweaks need to be made to the manufacturing process (such as altering temperature, holding times, and pressure) in order to optimize efficiency. Once this is done, it’s important to utilize tools like sensors and other feedback methods to ensure that these parameters remain consistent throughout production.
