To make a high-quality light lens mould, we generally need to follow these steps:

 

Design: Begin by creating a detailed 3D design or CAD model of the light lens. This design should include all the necessary features and specifications.

 

Material Selection: Choose a suitable material for the mould that can withstand high temperatures and pressure without warping or distorting. Typically, 2344/2738/718 steel steel is used for such molds due to their durability.

 

CNC Machining: Use advanced high speed CNC machine for tooling to ensure precise and accurate results.

 

Polishing: Polish the mould surfaces to achieve a smooth and glossy finish. This step is crucial to ensure that the final light lens has a very clear and transparent appearance.

 

Mould Assembly: Assemble the mould by combining the cavities, cores, and any other necessary components required for the molding process.

 

Testing: Before mould delivery to customer, mould testing is necessary step to ensure it meets the desired quality standards. This may involve trial runs with adjustments to achieve optimal results.

 

 

What materials are commonly used for making light lens moulds?

The steel with good hardness and polishing property will be a good choice for the mould, such as 2344, 2738, 718 steel, etc.

 

How long does it take to manufacture a light kens mould?

Generally 60 days to deliver T1 molded samples.

What is the expected mold life of a light lens mould?

500,000 shots at least.

 

How do you ensure the accuracy and precision of the mould?

We will use high grade machining equipment to make the mould, such as high speed CNC machines. Our company trained the machine operators regarding how to get a precision tooling result, and we will inspect the dimensions for each work piece after tooling.

 

Can the mould be used for both low-volume and high-volume production?

We will make different standard of mould for low-volume and high-volume production, in order to helping customer save cost.

 

Are the mould compatible with different types of plastic materials used for light lens?

No, it is not. The mould is designed for one plastic resin only, as the shrinkage of different material is not same.
