Mold design:

Information you need to provide us

1. If you have drawings, 2D drawings, 3D drawings (preferably in STEP format).

2. If there are no drawings, you need to provide specific length, width, height and weight information. (It’s best to send us samples)

3. Should the mold be sent to your country, or leave the mold in our factory and we will help you produce the product.

4. Mold material requirements, cavity number requirements (you can tell us about the size of your injection molding machine)
