Why buyers switch to us

Three things decide whether your mold project ships on time

Delivery reliability, throughput, and what you actually pay. Those are the three things we built the company around.

Do not see your part? If it is a mold base, a mold frame or a machined steel plate, send the drawing — we will tell you plainly whether we can make it.

Shopping in British English? The same parts are listed as mould base — same drawings, same tolerances.

Quality control

Measured on a CMM before it is packed

A mold base that is out of tolerance costs you a rework cycle in your own shop. So every mold base is measured on a coordinate measuring machine before it leaves the building, and the reading goes out with the shipment.

  • Fitting & ground features±0.02 mm — mold pockets, guide-pillar bores, guide-bushing bores, shut-off faces
  • Flatness & squareness, ground faces±0.02 mm
  • Above 600 mmtolerance agreed case by case — contact us with the drawing
  • InspectionCMM-verified on finished mold bases; records supplied with the order

Packing is film wrap plus wooden case, and we can photograph the parts and the case before dispatch if you need to pre-clear them with your warehouse.

Where our mold bases go

More than 60% of the mold bases we have built in recent years go into interior and structural parts for new-energy vehicles above RMB 200,000 — and into structural parts for the flagship models of leading telecom equipment makers.

On high-gloss, grained and thin-wall deep-cavity work, we have built up steady process know-how on parallelism and surface consistency.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before the first order

What is your standard lead time for a mold base?
Seven days from order confirmation to shipment for most mold bases. Complex or very large work is quoted with a firm date instead of a range, and that date is fixed before we start machining.
What tolerance can you hold on a mold base?
±0.02 mm on fitting and ground features — mold pockets, guide-pillar bores, guide-bushing bores, shut-off faces and plate parallelism. Ground working faces are flat and parallel to ±0.02 mm, datum faces square to ±0.02 mm, and ground surfaces finish to Ra 0.8 µm. Non-fitting dimensions are held to 0.3 mm. Above 600 mm the tolerance is agreed case by case — contact us with the drawing. Tell us the tolerance on your drawing and we confirm the figure we will hold before quoting.
What is the minimum order quantity?
One set. Mold base plates are matched, so we do not split a set — but a single set is a normal order for us, not an exception.
Can you machine to my drawing?
Yes. Send DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES or PDF, or even a clear photo of the print. Tell us the steel grade, quantity and target date and we will come back with a price and a delivery date.
