Design release
Mark the critical features, revision, sample standard and intended use.
PRODUCTION
Injection Mold Manufacturing in the production sequence
Tooling design and fabrication are part of the company profile. The listed workshop includes three Sodick EDM machines, two Sodick wire-EDM machines and two DMG engraving or milling machines.
What this operation is responsible for
A tool quotation depends on cavity count, steel selection, gate layout, sliders, surface finish, tool ownership and expected production volume. No guaranteed mold life is asserted.
The process is defined by part geometry and acceptance standards. A component may move to finishing or assembly after molding, but the entire route should be planned rather than assumed.

Inputs, outputs and control points
An engineering quote is more accurate when each operation has a clear deliverable.
| Decision / operation | Engineering discussion |
|---|---|
| Parting line and pull direction review | Specify measurable acceptance criteria, related drawing revision and the buyer approval milestone. |
| Gate, vent and cooling strategy | Specify measurable acceptance criteria, related drawing revision and the buyer approval milestone. |
| Cavity and replaceable insert planning | Specify measurable acceptance criteria, related drawing revision and the buyer approval milestone. |
| Trial parts, measurement and correction | Specify measurable acceptance criteria, related drawing revision and the buyer approval milestone. |
| Material and dimensions | Review exact grade and tolerance requirements against actual geometry. |
| Project scale | Confirm volume, number of tools and expected production schedule. |

ENGINEERING
Where coordination makes the difference
Molded dimensions, coating layers and final assembly fits interact. Verify them in the order used for the production part.
Tool or line setup
Connect process equipment, inspected geometry and cycle strategy.
Receiving acceptance
Define inspection state, surface sampling and lot traceability.

MOQ depends on part type and order value. New customers may request 1–5 samples where suitable. Mixed models are possible at around USD 1,500 total. Small 1–2-piece orders can cost more per piece. Indicative lead times: standard items 10–25 working days; custom parts 20–45; project equipment 45–120. EXW, FOB, CIF and DAP are common; FCA, CFR, CPT, CIP and DDP can be agreed case by case.
