Dies for profiles and continuous sections
Mold & Tooling
Plastic mold and tooling development for extrusion and injection projects
Tooling must match the part geometry, selected material, production process, and expected production plan. IBPlastic develops tooling as part of the manufacturing workflow, from design review and machining through trial parts and production preparation.
Molds for repeatable molded parts
Tooling confirmed together with sample parts
Engineering input
Tooling begins with the production requirement
A mold or die should not be specified independently from the part. We first review the geometry, material, critical dimensions, surface requirements, assembly conditions, and expected production needs.
Development
From design review to trial parts
The exact workflow depends on the selected manufacturing process. Tooling is prepared, trial parts are produced, and the project is reviewed against the agreed requirements before repeat production begins.
- Part and manufacturing review
- Tooling concept and machining
- Trial production and part inspection
- Adjustment where required before production release
Plan ahead
Define the commercial and technical scope before approval
Tool ownership, revision control, sample approval, maintenance responsibility, and any project-specific life or output requirement should be discussed explicitly. These conditions vary by project and should not be assumed from a standard mold package.
