Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd.

Principle: Design molds to accommodate design changes and multiple iterations with minimal rework.

Details:

Use modular or adjustable molds to allow modifications (e.g., interchangeable inserts for different features).

Incorporate draft angles, uniform wall thickness, and proper venting to ensure part release and quality.

Leverage CAD software and simulation tools to predict mold performance and identify issues (e.g., warpage, sink marks).

Prioritize single-cavity molds for prototypes to reduce complexity and cost.

Why It Matters: Facilitates quick design tweaks based on testing feedback, critical for early-stage development.

Example: An aluminum injection mold with replaceable inserts to test two versions of a product enclosure.
