In the competitive world of manufacturing, finding the right partner for mold manufacturing can make all the difference in achieving high-quality products and efficient production processes. This case study highlights Wanjiada’s?successful mold manufacturing collaboration with Tang Jisen, a company that required custom molds for their 700+800 folding box project.

Client Background

Tang Jisen is a company that specializes in the production of high-quality plastic products. They approached us with a request for custom molds to manufacture door panels and handles for their folding boxes. The project required precision, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

Project Overview

The project involved the creation of 5 sets of mold manufacturing, including molds for 800 short door panels, 800 long door panels, 700 short door panels, 700 long door panels, and door handles. The molds were to be made of 718H steel, a material known for its excellent mechanical properties and resistance to wear and tear. The products were to be made of PP (polypropylene), a lightweight and durable material suitable for the requirements of the project.

Mold Manufacturing Solution

Our Wanjiada?team provided a comprehensive solution to meet Tang Jisen’s needs:

Solution Overview

Material Selection: We chose 718H steel for the molds and PP for the products, ensuring durability and high-quality output.

Mold Design: The molds were designed with precision to meet the specific requirements of the project, including the use of a large water gate for efficient filling of the mold cavities.

Production Process: We implemented a streamlined and efficient production process, from material preparation to ejection and trimming of the finished products.

Detailed Design and Material Selection

718H Steel: This material was selected for its high strength and durability, ensuring that the molds would last for a long time and produce consistent results.

PP (Polypropylene): This material was chosen for its lightweight and durable properties, making it ideal for the production of the door panels and handles.

Project Implementation

The mold manufacturing process was carefully planned and executed:

Production Workflow

Material Preparation: The PP material was dried and prepared for injection molding.

Melting: The PP pellets were melted into a molten state.

Injection: The molten PP was injected into the mold cavities.

Cooling and Solidification: The molten PP was rapidly cooled and solidified within the molds.

Ejection: The solidified products were ejected from the molds and trimmed as necessary.

Quality Control

We used rigorous quality control measures to ensure that the molds and products met the highest standards. This included inspections at every stage of the mold manufacturing process, from material preparation to the final trimming of the products.

Project Results

The collaboration with Tang Jisen yielded impressive results:

Reduced?Manufacturing Cycle: The mold manufacturing was completed and ready for production within 32 days.

Cost Savings: The optimized design and efficient production process led to significant cost reductions.

High-Quality Output: The molds produced consistent, high-quality products that met all of Tang Jisen’s specifications.

Customer Reviews

“We were extremely impressed with the collaboration with Wanjiada. The molds delivered not only met but exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and production efficiency. This partnership has significantly enhanced our manufacturing capabilities.”

Analysis: What Made This Mold Manufacturing Collaboration a Success

When we look back at this project, it’s clear that several key elements came together to make it such a smooth and successful partnership. Here’s a breakdown of what really made the difference, from our perspective as industry insiders:

Precision Communication: The Bedrock of Success

In mold manufacturing, details are everything. From the outset, we prioritized clear, open communication with Tang Jisen. This wasn’t just about exchanging information—it was about building a partnership based on trust and mutual understanding. We made sure every requirement, timeline, and technical detail was crystal clear. This level of communication is what allows projects to flow seamlessly and ensures everyone is working towards the same goal.

Material Expertise: Choosing the Right Tools for the Job

Material selection is a critical part of any mold manufacturing project. For Tang Jisen, we knew that 718H steel was the ideal choice for the molds. Its durability and resistance to wear and tear make it perfect for long-term use. Coupled with polypropylene (PP) for the actual products, we had a combination that guaranteed both strength and lightweight efficiency. Our experience with these materials allowed us to confidently recommend them, knowing they would meet all the project’s needs.

Mold Design: Balancing Art and Engineering

Designing molds is both a science and an art. We focused on optimizing the mold cavities and gating systems to ensure efficient production without compromising quality. This involved careful consideration of every detail, from the number of cavities to the type of gating system used. Our goal was to create molds that would produce perfect parts, every single time. This kind of precision is what sets great molds apart from good ones.

Quality Control: The Non-Negotiable Standard

Quality control is the backbone of our mold manufacturing process. We understand that a single faulty mold can disrupt an entire production run, which is why we implement rigorous checks at every stage. From the initial material preparation to the final trim, nothing slips through the cracks. For Tang Jisen, this meant molds they could rely on, producing consistent, high-quality parts without fail.

Cost Efficiency: Smart Solutions, Not Just Cheap Ones

Cost is always a consideration, but for us, it’s about working smarter, not just cheaper. By streamlining the design and production process, we were able to deliver significant cost savings without sacrificing quality. This isn’t magic—it’s the result of years of experience and a deep understanding of what works. Our goal is always to provide solutions that are both cost-effective and genuinely efficient.

The Human Factor: Why Partnerships Matter

At the end of the day, this project was about more than just molds—it was about people. Working with Tang Jisen felt like a true partnership. We shared goals, troubleshooted together, and celebrated the successes along the way. This kind of relationship isn’t just nice to have; it’s essential. When both sides are invested, the end result is always better.

Conclusion

The collaboration between Wanjiada?and Tang Jisen is a testament to the power of strategic partnerships in the mold manufacturing industry. By focusing on clear communication, material expertise, precision design, and rigorous quality control, we were able to deliver high-quality molds and significant cost savings. This project serves as a benchmark for future collaborations, demonstrating the potential for innovation and success when industry expertise meets client needs.
