Tooling & Molding Questions Project Scope, Interfaces & Inspection

The company publishes general mold and molded-part tolerance figures of ±0.01 mm and ±0.02 mm. Actual acceptance criteria depend on the part drawing, material, measurement method, and agreed inspection plan; confirm them in the quotation before ordering.

Share the press and platen drawings during the RFQ. Interface requirements can then be reviewed and recorded in the approved mold design. Final compatibility depends on the supplied machine information and approved specifications.

Ask for the required steel certificates, heat-treatment records, and dimensional inspection report in the RFQ. Availability and report scope should be confirmed and listed in the project quotation.

Timing depends on part complexity, materials, mold design, sampling requirements, and approval cycles. Request a project schedule with the quotation and agree milestone dates before work starts.

Contact the company to arrange a separate written NDA. Do not submit confidential designs until both parties have agreed to and signed the applicable document.

Include the part drawing or CAD file, material, expected quantity, target press details, required standards, and inspection or certification needs. The company can confirm the review scope and quotation requirements after assessing the information.
