Types of Tool Structure Solutions

The tool structure solutions produced by our company mainly include the following types:
1.Insert Mold
Insert mold refers to the molding process of injecting resin into a pre prepared heterogeneous insert into a mold, and then bonding and solidifying the melted material with the insert to produce an integrated product.


2.2K Mold
Independent 2k mold means making two different colors on the same machine, which is usually done by replacing the front mold (by rotating the mold). A set of two-color molds needs to be made into two sets of molds, two sets of the same rear mold, and one set of different front molds.

01.

Insert Mold

Insert mold have many advantages, including:
Efficient multi-material molding capabilities: Insert mold technology enables efficient combination of different materials by embedding inserts of metal or other materials directly into the plastic molding process. Compared with traditional assembly methods, this process greatly improves production efficiency and reduces the subsequent assembly process.


Strengthened structural bonding: Insert mold has a very strong bonding force between the insert and the plastic during the molding process. By precisely controlling the mold temperature and pressure, it can ensure a strong bond between the plastic and the insert, avoiding product quality problems caused by weak bonding in traditional processes.


Optimized product design flexibility: Insert mold technology provides greater flexibility in product design. Multiple inserts can be molded simultaneously in the same mold, allowing complex structures to be completed in one production, reducing the reliance on multiple processing processes and equipment.


High production consistency: The insert mold process ensures the consistency of size and quality of each product. Through precise molds and automated control systems, products can maintain a high degree of consistency during the molding process, reducing quality fluctuations caused by differences in manual operations.

2K Mold

2K mold have many advantages, including:
Excellent material compatibility: The 2K Mold support the compatibility of multiple materials, including different types of plastics (such as polypropylene, polyurethane, etc.) and the combination of heterogeneous materials such as plastics and metals. Through precise temperature control and injection process adjustment, the uniform distribution and bonding of materials can be ensured, thus avoiding the phenomenon of shedding or delamination between materials.


Improve production efficiency: Our products can complete the injection molding of two materials at the same time in one molding process, avoiding the tedious steps of secondary assembly after traditional injection molding.

Application of Tool Structure Solutions
 

1.Insert Mold
Insert mold can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
Aerospace: The aerospace industry uses the insert injection molding process for seating aircraft, making stowage bin latches, lavatories, handles, and user interface switches. Insert molding also helps create other aircraft parts, including interiors, communication, and controls.
Automotive: The automotive industry is another industry with a huge insert molding adoption. In this industry, insert molding allows manufacturers to replace metal parts with more durable plastic ones.
Medical devices: The health sector is another major benefactor of the process. The process can produce medical devices ranging from simple ones to even intricate and sensitive ones like sutures and implants. Also, insert injection molding facilitates the production of some electronic devices used in the medical industry.
Consumer electronics: The consumer electronic industry uses insert molding as it boycotts the use of fasteners and solders during manufacturing, making assembly a more seamless process.

 

2.2K Mold
2K mold can be used for a variety of purposes, including: The medical sector is the most frequent user of this molding technique. For example: Medical instruments: 2k molding is useful in the medical profession for applications such as ergonomic handles with soft-touch grips, multi-material housings for medical instruments, and over-molded grips for surgical tools.

Features of 2K Mold

 

 

Bondability: The two materials used must bond well together. It is important to ensure that their chemical and physical properties are compatible so that they bond properly without delamination.
Temperature requirements: Different materials May require different injection temperatures. Make sure the machine can handle the different temperature requirements or manage them with precise controls.

 

 
 
Designing the 2K Mold
01.

Material selection

Choose the two materials to be used in the molding process. These materials May differ in hardness, color, texture, or functionality (e.G., a soft elastomer combined with a hard plastic).

02.

Part geometry

Make sure the part is designed to accommodate both materials. Consider how the two materials will interact and whether delamination or overmolding is required.

03.

Mold design

The mold must have two different cavities or cores, each dedicated to one material. The design should ensure that the materials bond properly without defects.

04.

Runner system

Design a suitable runner system for each material to be injected. The runners for each material must be separate but run simultaneously.

 

Molding Process of 2K Mold

 

Injection cycle: The process starts with injecting the first material into the cavity. After that, the mold rotates or uses a different injection point to inject the second material.

 
 

Overmolding/coinjection: In some 2k molds, the second material is overmolded over the first material. In other cases, coinjection allows the materials to be injected simultaneously, but into different cavities before joining them together.

 
 

Curing and cooling: After both materials are injected, they need to be properly cured before the mold is opened and the part is ejected. The cooling process must ensure that both materials are cured but not over-cured, which can cause shrinkage or warping.

 
 

Testing and prototyping: Before full production, a prototype of the 2k mold must be created to test the functionality, material bonding, and mechanical properties of the part.

 
 

Test runs: Test runs are performed to ensure that the mold produces the desired results. Note any defects such as material delamination, poor bonding, or uneven part geometry.

 
 

Adjust mold parameters: Based on the testing, fine-tune mold parameters such as injection speed, pressure, temperature, and cooling time.

FAQ

Q: What materials are used in mould inserts?

A: Inserts must withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures that may occur during the molding process. Common insert materials include metals, glass, and preformed plastic parts.

Q: What is an insert in a mold?

A: Insert molding is an injection molding process that involves adding inserts, particularly metal, into an injection-molded part.

Q: What is the temperature of insert molding?

A: The mold temperature of INSERT MOLDING process is 65 -120 cels degree, and the material temperature is 260-320 cels degrees

Q: What is the difference between insert mold and overmold?

A: Overmolding involves injecting two shots of materials to form the substrate and the overmold. Insert molding only involves injecting one shot of molten plastic, though the metal insert needs to be purchased or created separately.

Q: What material is most commonly used for molding?

A: Moulding and trim can be made from many materials, including foam, polyurethane and rubber. Wood is the most popular moulding material.

Q: What materials can be used in 2K molding?

A: Common materials used in 2K molding include thermoplastics like ABS, polycarbonate, and polypropylene, elastomers such as rubber or silicone for flexibility, and engineering plastics for high-strength applications, with material choice depending on the final product's intended properties.

Q: How does the 2K molding process work?

A: In 2K molding, the process involves injecting the first material into a mold, partially curing it, and then injecting the second material into the same mold.
