Tooling- an important process
When you approach reputed mould makers like HQmould they not only produce quality moulds but also guide you about the tooling materials that would be appropriate for the moulds based on the final product that is required.
The materials used for making injection moulding machines include hardened steel, beryllium which is hardened copper alloy or aluminum. Each of them comes with their own set of pro’s and cons. For example, the steel is the most suitable material for making injection moulding machines but it is very expensive. You have pre-hardened steel that needs to be heat treated right after machining to make them more heat and wear-resistant to ensure a longer life span. You also have aluminum moulds that are less expensive but might not be as durable as steel. But, they offer quick turnaround the production cycles. When you go in for a custom mould, you would be able to get the mould designed based on the requirements and economically too.
