Mould R&D System

SINOMOULD’s Mould R&D Center strictly follows the TS16949 management system and leverages an engineering database of hundreds of special mould structures to establish a rigorous development process:

  • Concept validation: Concurrent engineering with customers to assess product functionality and mould feasibility
  • Mould flow analysis & process simulation: Predict filling, cooling, and warpage risks in advance
  • Patented structural design: Innovations in demoulding, core pulling, temperature control, and other key areas
  • Prototype mould testing & small‑batch validation: Ensure first‑trial qualification rate >95%

This mould R&D system supports SINOMOULD’s leading position among Chinese mould manufacturers and creates a distinct competitive advantage in the moulding market.

Core Moulding Technologies

The SINOMOULD R&D team has successfully mastered and commercialized the following advanced moulding technologies, covering plastics, light metals, and microcellular processes:

Technology

Core Value

Gas‑assisted plastic moulding

Hollow structure, 30% weight reduction, eliminates sink marks

Water‑assisted plastic moulding

Rapid cooling, cycle time reduction >20%

High‑gloss injection moulding

Mirror‑like, weld‑line‑free surface – paint‑free

Stack moulding

Multi‑layer moulds, doubles output

Multi‑color / multi‑material injection moulding

Rigid + soft / different colors in one shot

Foam injection moulding

Lightweight, microcellular structure, reduced packing pressure

Microcellular foam mould technology (MuCell‑based)

Cell size 10–50μm, weight reduction 10–25%, warpage reduction 50–80%, cycle time reduction 15–30%

Magnesium‑aluminum alloy semi‑solid injection technology

Semi‑solid die casting, processing temperature lowered by 100–150°C, porosity reduced >50%, mould life increased 2–3×

Injection Consulting

SINOMOULD not only has a strong internal mould R&D team but also maintains long‑term technical partnerships with several European mould manufacturers. We provide internationally recognized injection moulding consulting services to our European counterparts, while also bringing advanced European mould design concepts and process standards into China.

Through this two‑way technical exchange, SINOMOULD’s mould R&D system remains globally synchronized, ensuring that every mould delivered to customers features:

  • Patented structural protection – avoiding infringement risks
  • Wide process window – compatible with different injection machine brands
  • Life‑cycle cost (LCC) optimization
