Polishing and Texturing are the two main considerations for the injection mold steel surface.
- Polishing: Polishing is a manual process that removes machining marks on the plastic mold surface and provides a uniform finish.
- Texturing: There are several ways to texture a plastic mold surface such as sand blasting, EDM or Etching.
The choice of surface finish needs to be established very early in the design phase. The reason for this is because the finish type influences the tooling that needs to be used during the manufacturing process. The rougher the finish, the higher the draft angle needed to be able to easily eject the part from the custom injection molds. No matter what kind of surface finish you desire, Stebro Mold will be sure to exceed your expectations.

Once we understand your needs and optimized the part design, we will start the mold design. The main goal of mold design and tooling is to create a product with highest possible manufacturability. That means a high-quality process that is simple and efficient, long-lasting, easy to operate and maintain, and that meets all customer specifications—all at the lowest possible cost. From flow analysis to runner and gate sizing to cooling analysis to venting recommendations to temperature and pressure sensor recommendations, we’ll look at every aspect of injection mold design to ensure your custom injection molds are as close to perfect as possible.
LCTECH manufactures a wide range of custom plastic molds from prototypes to complex final production molds. Our custom injection molds types including:
Singel Cavity Molds | A single-cavity mould produces a single plastic product per injection molding cycle, For the low volumes injection molding, we suggest to use single cavity injection molds. |
Multi-Cavity Molds | A multi-cavity mould produces more than one plastic product per injection molding cycle. Multi cavity mold are used to increase production rate. |
Family Molds | Family molds are used to produce two or more different components in one injection cycle. Family mold reduces overall tool manufacturing cost because in this two different parts are manufactured with one mold. |
Hot Runner Injection Mold | Hot runner injection mold consists of two plates that are heated using a manifold system. In this system, runners are heated to keep injected thermoplastic in molten state. runner is situated internally in the mold. Therefore runners are not ejected with molded parts. |
Cold Runner Injection Mold | Cold runner molds are two plate or three plate molds. In this, runners are not heated up. Therefore after the injection cycle sprue, runner and gate are cooled with molded parts. As a result, runners and gates are ejected with molded parts. |
2K Injection Molds | 2K Injection mold, known as two color Injection mold, two shot mold, twin-shot mold, dual-shot mold, double color mold, double shot mold, 2K mold and 2K tooling |
Over Molds | Two injection molds, one mold for the hard material and the other one for the soft material. |
Insert Molds | Plastic custom injection molds for insert injection molding. |
Unscrewing Molds, Rotating-Core Molds | Unscrewing actions are used for threaded features. The material is molded around the unscrewing action and once cooled, the action turns and unscrews itself from the part. |
Gas-Assisted Injection molds | A special custom injection mold for Gas-Assisted Injection molding. |
3 plate molds | Three plate injection mold consists of two parting planes and mold splits in three sections. Therefore runners and components can be located on different parting planes. In three plate molds, the runner is ejected separately to the molded part. |
2 plate molds | 2 plate molds consist of one parting plane and the mold splits at parting plane. In a multi cavity two plate mold, runner and gate must be in parting plane. So that they can be ejected when mold splits. |
MUD molds | MUD mold includes a standard injection molding frame that utilizes a number of inserts in order to define the shape of the internal cavity (and thus the eventual part) |
Side-Action Molds | Side actions are special features that are designed into a mold to help achieve tricky part features such as lifters, sliders, Collapsible Core and Unscrewing Action. |
Collapsing-Core Molds | Collapsible cores release circular undercuts and can be used for threaded features. The part is molded around the core and once cooled, the core collapses to allow the part to be removed from the mold. |
Prototype Molds | Prototype injection mold also called soft mold, test mold, development mold or pre-production mold, it can be built quickly to produce plastic prototypes and low volume parts to test the form, assmbly and function of the parts. |
SPI Class 101 Molds | Extremely high volume production injection tools built for lifetime cycles exceeding one million. |
Injection mold lifetime stands for the number of moulding cycles a mold can make before it needs to be replaced. Any injection mold will be subject to wear.
Plastic injection mold wear will occur particularly to ejectors, gates, slides and other moving parts. Surface finishes such as high gloss polish or sparked finish will also become less defined over time. The mold wear mainly depends on below items: Mold complexity, Injection Mold Steel, Injection Molding Material, Mold setter skill and regular mold maintenance. If the Injection mold have lots of actions such as sliders, lifters, unscrewing mechanisms with many small core pins, molded with high glass-filled material, the moldlife will be shorter than a simple injection mold molded with PP material.
You can take an estimate for mold’s lifetime, which will help you determine whether or not a plastic injection mold live up to its estimated performance. If your injection mold only completed 180,000 before breaking down, while the expectancy of the injection mold was 250,000 cycle, the reason for this performance might be that the operation of molding process is too faster and wear and tear were happened. But the problem might also lies in the mould design. As a professional plastic molding company,we will provide perfect solutions to solve your molding defects.
As long as we’re running your parts in our manufacturing facility, your mold is covered with a lifetime warranty, that means we will maintain, adjust, repair or replace the mold as needed, at no cost to you within the mold lifetime. And in this feild Stebro plastic mold maker promise we have advantages than other plastic mold makers.
Once an injection mould has run a set number of cycles; inspections, maintenance and cleaning should be performed. Regular maintenance and cleaning can improve the shot quality, which ensures consistent plastic parts quality. Injection mold repairs can be costly, so it is important that your injection plastic molds maker provide regular maintenance, cleaning, and if necessary, repair, to protect your mould investment and maintain consistent production. At LCTECH MOLD, we stand behind our injection mold tooling. As long as the plastic injection mold remains with us we will guarantee that mold for life. There will be no repair or maintenance cost on your injection mold service in China.
