Mould R&D
With 20+ years of deep expertise in plastic and metal forming technologies, SINOMOULD drives continuous innovation in mould technology through its own Plastics Technology R&D Studio. We have been granted over 100 patents covering mould structures, plastic part inventions, and process improvements, committed to delivering high‑value‑added, industrially viable mould R&D solutions to global customers.
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
