Pre-Project Evaluation & Development Support
Backed by 25+ years of expertise, Sureton delivers expert mold design solutions. We offer in-depth project evaluation and engineering support at the start of mold manufacturing, guaranteeing that your tooling aligns with technical specs for maximum production efficiency.
Requirement Assessment
We initiate projects by reviewing specifications such as functionality, material selection, and production volume. By assessing mold feasibility early, we deliver optimal solutions and custom recommendations that align perfectly with your client requirements and precision goals.
Process Recommendations
We design advanced gating, cooling, and venting systems that significantly enhance mold longevity. Handling intricate parts, we utilize data-driven machining strategies to guarantee precision and consistent, high-quality die casting output for every project.
Design Feasibility Analysis
Leveraging Moldflow analysis, we identify potential casting defects like porosity and cold shuts, recommending proactive design improvements. We also analyze geometric complexities and wall thickness to ensure the part structure is perfectly suited for reliable die-casting manufacturing.
Material Selection Support
We specify high-grade mold steel to ensure exceptional durability and prolonged mold life under high heat. Key areas receive specialized treatments (coatings) to boost wear resistance and offer lasting corrosion protection.
Molding Manufacturing Network
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology—from CNC and Milling to Die Spotting machines—we specialize in precision mold making for 180T-800T capacities. Backed by 25 years of expertise, our process integrates detailed mold quotations and predictive mold flow analysis. We guarantee functionality through custom setup reports and comprehensive dimensional inspections, delivering die casting molds that exceed the highest industry standards.
We provide three distinct die casting mold categories to support every manufacturing stage:
Prototype Tooling
Engineered for short runs and design verification, these molds utilize modular frames for rapid construction. Depending on complexity, we deliver prototype tooling in just 2–6 weeks, allowing for quick part testing and acquisition.
Pilot / Preproduction Molds
Serving as a bridge to mass production, these molds feature production-grade gating, cooling, and ejection systems. They enable continuous design optimization and process refinement, with select components reusable for final tooling.
Production Molds
The standard for high-volume manufacturing. Built via verified CNC machining processes, our production molds ensure full component interchangeability. We support scalable solutions, from single-cavity to high-cavitation designs.
Mold manufacturing process is meticulously designed to ensure that every project, from design to final product, is clear, efficient, and meets customer requirements.
Design
In this initial phase, we partner with clients to gather critical data on dimensions, materials, and production volume. Our engineers leverage advanced mold design software and simulation tools to forecast real-world performance. By mitigating risks early in the design process, we ensure a seamless transition to the subsequent mold manufacturing steps.
Manufacturing
Equipped with comprehensive machinery—from CNC machining centers and EDM machines to precision grinders and 3D measuring instruments—we deliver superior tooling. Our mold development utilizes full 3D design and mold flow analysis within a standardized production framework. This ensures we maximize the reliability and efficiency of the entire mold manufacturing process.
Trial Mold
Mold trials are essential for verifying production readiness. During this step, we execute initial runs and calibrate processing parameters for seamless output. Based on sampling results, we apply necessary design adjustments, ensuring the final product achieves peak quality and is fully optimized for mass production.
Final Product
In this initial phase, we partner with clients to gather critical data on dimensions, materials, and production volume. Our engineers leverage advanced mold design software and simulation tools to forecast real-world performance. By mitigating risks early in the design process, we ensure a seamless transition to the subsequent mold manufacturing steps.
