Molds
Development of pressure molds
Services
I.D.T.
Our R&D department offers cutting-edge solutions in the development of projects in the most diverse areas of plastic parts. We have a multifaceted team capable of developing an idea/concept from scratch. Our creativity involves understanding, observing, defining and idealizing. Understanding the client and their needs is the first stage in the process of a successful product.
Our proximity to technology centers and universities has been fundamental in the development of new materials and methods of designing parts.
Prototyping
Recognizing the need to assess functionality and validate the design of parts, we have solutions that allow us to produce three-dimensional physical models. Prototyping helps to reduce conceptual flaws and ensures that the end result meets the client’s expectations.
We also have the means to simulate the industrial process, providing the client with the capacity to produce small series by making prototype molds.
Know-How
Our knowledge is fundamental to our involvement and cooperation with the client in the development process. It is experience that translates into the ability to suggest and implement the necessary optimizations, as well as reducing the error rate with a sense of proactivity in a process of continuous improvement.
Engineering
We have the right equipment and professionals with wide-ranging knowledge of both plastic injection processes and the construction of molds that allow parts to be shaped. This knowledge allows us to transform an idea into a physical object, from the 3D drawing of the part, to the design of the mold, to monitoring all the production stages.
Tests
Our industrial model is an added value for our customers. We have an industrial plant with machines that allow us to test and validate the molds made for our customers. Our fleet of injection machines ranges from 50 tons to 1200 tons of clamping force.
Turnkey
We have solutions tailored to our clients’ needs. If you have an idea that you want to develop and don’t have the necessary resources, talk to us. We control the A-Z process from design development to production, assembly and packaging. With us, your ideas stay inside our doors and you’ll always be accompanied by specialized technicians in the most diverse areas.
High pressure technologies
Automatic unscrewing mold
3D mold drawing Customer - 40mm screw cap
This type of mold is suitable for injecting parts with threads. When the injected part needs to be threaded, it is necessary to equip the mold with counter-rotating mechanisms to allow the part to be demolded from the inside, such as rotating or collapsible bushings.
Round mold
3D mold drawing Customer 5ton - 50L bucket
Round molds are usually best suited to round parts with just one cavity, such as industrial buckets. Production costs are usually lower, as much of the work is done in turning operations.
Thin thicknesses
3D drawing of the Customer mold - 5L ice cream box
The construction of a thin-thickness mold is very demanding, and when it is poorly constructed, it poses serious problems for the injected part. Thin thicknesses are considered when the flow length is long compared to the thickness of the walls of the injected part.
Bi-material mold | bi-color (2K)
3D mold drawing Customer 2K (4+4Cav) - Two-tone mug 0.4L
This type of technology makes it possible to combine materials and/or colors in the same part. This type of mold has two injection times, either through different injection channels, a rotating platen or an index platen.
Multi-cavity mold
3D drawing of the Codil 16cav mold - Coffee capsules
If your goal is to produce on a large scale, the solution is to manufacture a mold with multiple cavities, thus increasing production capacity in a shorter period of time and reducing production costs.
Mold Metal inserts | IML
3D drawing of the Customer mold w/IML - PL napkin holder
Molds that allow metal inserts to be integrated before the injection process, so that the insert is mechanically bonded to the molded plastic part. The same goes for the use of In-mold labeling (IML), which consists of the process of applying the decorative label to the part before injection. This technology allows the label to fuse with the injected part, making it impossible to remove it and increasing the durability of the decoration.
