Mold concepts for injection molds
We develop the mold concept and bring part designers and mold makers to the same table.
Develop the concept
Together with the mold maker, we define the parting line, gating, slides, ejectors and cooling.
- Selecting the right mold maker
- Requirements specification for the mold maker
- Defining the mold concept
Reviewing the design
Review of the concept and the finished mold design.
The focus is on a robust, long-lasting mold and cooling designed for short cycle times.
The finished mold
This is the result: the mold for the LeakCam 600 housing, open in the machine.
Housing of the LeakCam 600 acoustic camera
A real-world example: the housing of the LeakCam 600 acoustic camera by CS Instruments. We took over the project from the designer, reworked it into parts ready for molding and production, and optimized it with our simulation, wall thickness and demolding analysis. We discussed the mold concepts with the mold maker and supervised the mold build on site through to the tryout.

Frequently asked questions
What goes into a mold concept?
Parting line, gating, slides, ejectors and cooling. This forms the basis of the requirements specification for the mold maker.
Do you also review designs from other mold makers?
Yes. We review both the concept and the finished mold design before the mold build starts.
