What is the meaning of double molding process?

The compound molding process is a processing method used to manufacture injection molds. It is copied and processed on the basis of the prototype mold to obtain the final injection mold. Below I will introduce the meaning, steps and applications of the compound molding process in detail.

First, what is the meaning of the mold process:
The remolding process can help manufacturers quickly produce high-quality injection molds. Compared with traditional hand-made molds, the remolding process has the following advantages:
(1) Improve production efficiency: The mold process uses modern equipment and technology to make molds more quickly and shorten the delivery cycle.
(2) Maintain mold accuracy: By copying the prototype mold, you can ensure that the newly manufactured mold has the same size and shape as the prototype mold, and maintain the accuracy of the mold.
(3) Reduce costs: compared with designing and manufacturing molds from scratch, the mold process can save time and resources and reduce manufacturing costs.

Second, what are the steps of the mold process:
The remolding process usually consists of the following steps:
(1) Prototype mold making: First of all, according to the design requirements of the product, make a prototype mold. Prototype molds can be manufactured by 3D printing, CNC machining and other methods.
(2) Mold surface treatment: surface treatment of the prototype mold for subsequent replication and processing. This includes steps such as cleaning, polishing, applying separation agent, etc.
(3) Compound mold material selection: according to the material and requirements of the prototype mold, select the appropriate compound mold material. Commonly used compound materials include silicone, polyurethane and so on.
(4) Compound mold: Pour the compound mold material into the prototype mold, and remove it after curing. This results in a complex mold with the same shape as the prototype mold.
(5) Mold processing: the processing of the compound mold, including dressing, hole processing, wire cutting and other steps to obtain the final injection mold.

Third, what are the applications of the mold process:
(1) The compound mold process is widely used in the field of injection mold manufacturing.
(2) It can be used to produce various types of injection molds, including auto parts, home appliance shells, plastic containers, etc. The remolding process can also be used to produce small batches or customized molds to meet the needs of different customers.
It should be noted that although the mold process can improve the efficiency and quality of mold manufacturing, it also requires professional equipment and technical support. Therefore, when choosing a mold supplier, it is recommended to consider its ability and experience in the mold process to ensure high-quality injection molds.

To sum up, the compound mold process is a processing method used to manufacture injection molds. By copying the prototype mold and processing, it can quickly and accurately produce high-quality injection molds. Remolding process is of great significance in improving production efficiency, maintaining mold accuracy and reducing cost, and is widely used in the field of injection mold manufacturing.
