WORK METHOD

Work process in injection mold projects

The Mouldhauss injection mold work process is based on engineering, technical coordination, and project control to avoid deviations, cost overruns, and problems during development and production.

The usual problem in injection mold projects

In many industrial projects, each phase is managed separately: part design, mold manufacturing, injection, and post-processes. This fragmentation often generates errors, delays, and cost overruns that the client ends up assuming.

Lack of coordination between project phases

When engineering, mold maker, and injector work independently, problems are detected late, and responsibilities are diluted.

Late changes and avoidable cost overruns

Incorrect technical decisions in initial phases often translate into mold modifications and budget deviations.

The client assumes the technical risk

Without a global project manager, the client is forced to manage technical incidents without having real control of the process.

Step-by-step work process in injection molds

At Mouldhauss, we apply a structured method that allows correct technical decisions to be made from the beginning, coordinating all phases of the project under a single technical criterion. This work process in injection molds allows coordinating all phases of the project under a common technical criterion and reducing risks from the beginning.

01

Analysis of the part and the project requirements

We analyze the part, its functionality, materials, planned volumes, and technical requirements before making any decision, relying on an initial phase of product engineering and validation that allows detecting risks from the beginning.

02

Product engineering and DFM analysis

We evaluate the design of the part and propose improvements to optimize its manufacturability, quality, and mold cost, relying when necessary on previous phases of prototyping and product validation to confirm technical decisions before defining the final solution.

03

Technical definition of the mold

We define the mold concept, the injection, cooling, and extraction systems, applying injection mold engineering criteria that ensure coherence with the technical requirements of the project.

04

Risk analysis and prevention of problems in production

Before manufacturing the mold, we analyze the possible risks that may appear during mass production and define technical solutions to avoid them from the beginning. Our quality control is activated in the conception phase.

05

Technical coordination and project responsibility

We coordinate mold maker and injector under clear technical criteria, avoiding deviations and liability issues.

06

Validation, production, and monitoring

We supervise the validation of the mold, the start of production, and the initial monitoring to ensure stable results during plastic injection production.

Why a structured work process makes the difference

A well-defined work process in injection molds allows anticipating technical problems before they appear during mold manufacturing or mass production. Experience shows that many errors are not due to execution but to decisions made without a global vision of the project.

Applying a structured work process in injection molds facilitates coordination between engineering, mold manufacturing, injection, and post-processes, avoiding technical contradictions and loss of information between phases. This approach allows making decisions based on technical criteria and not on production urgencies.

In addition, working with a clear process reduces the dependence on subsequent corrections, improves the stability of production, and provides greater predictability in deadlines, costs, and quality of the final product.

What this work method provides

Applying a structured method allows reducing risks, improving decision-making, and ensuring technical control of the project from the beginning.

Fewer late changes and fewer cost overruns

Technical decisions are made in early phases, avoiding costly modifications during mold manufacturing or production.

Greater technical control of the project

Each phase is coordinated under clear technical criteria, with continuous monitoring and validation.

A single technical contact

Centralizing technical management reduces communication errors and simplifies decision-making.

Stable and predictable results

The method allows obtaining consistent results, reducing risks in mass production.

Before manufacturing the mold, let's talk about the project

A prior technical analysis allows detecting risks, optimizing the design, and making correct decisions before making the investment in the mold.
