Some Factors affecting mold cost

Some Factors affecting mold cost

May 29, 2023

Why your mold cost is very high?

Sometimes, some customers said your mold cost is very high that can't stand . Because the mold cost include many factors,I will discuss some main factors:

1.Material of mold insert

Different material has the different moldlife, mold material directly affects the manufacturing accuracy,moldlife and effectiveness of the mold

Material Feature
P20 hardness is relatively uniform,but not high, good for processing performance, good polishing performance and photoresist etching performance,not good for high polishing
718H The processing technology is simple, and it has excellent mechanical properties, machinability, and good polishing performance. Especially after being pre hardened to a hardness of 41-47HRC  through special production processes, it can also reduce the heat treatment process and improve economic benefits.  suitable for high surface finish plastic product molds, forming tools, compression brake molds, computer casings, and other molds
S136 Excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, polishing performance, machinability, and dimensional stability
S136H Excellent corrosion resistance, excellent rust resistance, minimal heat treatment deformation, and relatively low maintenance and production costs
NAK80 Excellent polishing, cutting, etching, carving, and discharge machining properties. Vacuum degassing and refining treatment for pure steel without the need for heat treatment

2.Manufacturing process: The mold manufacturing process accounts for a high proportion of mold costs. For example, manufacturing complex molds requires a longer processing time and higher manufacturing difficulty, resulting in higher costs. Sometimes, wiesel will send the free service that optimize the design of product, in order to reduce the process and mold cost

3.Mold design: Mold design is also an important factor in determining costs. Reasonably designed molds can reduce processing time and costs, and improve production efficiency; And for molds with overly complex design, the difficulty and cost of processing will also increase accordingly.


4.Mold production scale: Generally speaking, the larger the mold production scale, the lower the shared cost, and the lower the cost. Because large-scale production can improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs.


5.Mold service life: The mold service life also affects costs. If the mold service life is short and requires frequent replacement and maintenance, the cost will also increase accordingly. Therefore, choosing high-quality materials and manufacturing processes can effectively increase the service life of molds and reduce costs.
