Custom Design Lighter Cover Casting Aluminum Mould with Guide Design

Moulds are the ‘tool’ of the project, and it should not be underestimate the importance of good quality tools. Fabrication of the tool is often the biggest investment in the process, especially for complex shapes, due largely to the need for the pattern. Once the pattern is known however, they are easy and affordable to replicate using this very precise method.

Complex shapes usually require fabricating cast aluminum moulds, while larger shapes like industrial fluid tanks would be made from a sheet metal mould. For a polished-look to the product, the moulds themselves can be finished with a fine gloss, textured, or left unfinished depending on the application of the final product.

Unlike injection moulds, rotational moulds are much cheaper to make as they operate under less pressure. Inside the mould, the plastic is heated and rotated. As the plastic melts it forms a pool at the bottom of the mould, and begins to stick to and coat the inside as the mould is rotated. With careful design and engineering, exceptional thicknesses control can be achieved using this method.

Product Parameter

Genernal tools specifications:
