Custom Mold Making Services for Injection Molding Projects
Xiongfeng provides custom mold making services from DFM review and mold design to CNC machining, EDM, fitting, assembly, trial molding, modification, maintenance, and production support.
- Prototype and bridge molds
- Production injection molds
- Multi-cavity and insert molds
- Mold testing and maintenance
From Product Design to Production-Ready Injection Molds
Mold making requires coordination between product design, resin behavior, mold structure, cooling, ejection, gate design, surface requirements, tolerances, molding conditions, and expected production life.
Our team develops a tooling strategy based on part geometry, material, quantities, appearance, cycle goals, maintenance needs, and long-term production.
- Parting line and gate planning
- Draft, wall thickness, ribs, and bosses
- Slides, lifters, inserts, and undercuts
- Cooling and ejection considerations
- Tool steel and mold base selection
- Mold trial and correction support

Tool Steel and Mold Component Options
Steel selection depends on mold life, resin, wear, corrosion, polish, texture, and budget.
P20
General-purpose pre-hardened steel with balanced machinability, cost, and durability.
718 / 718H
Production mold steel with improved hardness, polishability, and stability.
NAK80
Suitable for good polish, texture, and dimensional stability.
S136
Used where corrosion resistance, polish, or transparency is important.
H13
Tool steel for demanding wear, heat, or insert applications.
Aluminum Tooling
An option for prototypes, short runs, and shorter tooling schedules.
From Product Drawing to Approved Production Mold
A structured development process reduces risk and supports stable production.
DFM and Mold Concept
Review the part, resin, quantities, gates, parting line, ejection, cooling, and tooling goals.
Design and Manufacturing
Complete mold design, machine cavities and cores, and manufacture tooling components.
Assembly and Mold Trial
Assemble, fit, inspect, and test the mold under actual molding conditions.
Correction and Approval
Evaluate dimensions, appearance, function, and process performance before approval.
