The following modern mold production process to do a simple introduction.
1）ESI（Earlier Supplier Involvement Early participation of suppliers): this stage is mainly about the technical discussion on product design and mold development between customers and suppliers. The main purpose is to let suppliers clearly understand the design intention and precision requirements of product designers, and at the same time let product designers better understand the mold production capacity and product process performance, so as to make more reasonable decisions The design of the theory.
2) Quotation: including the price of the mould, the service life of the mould, the turnover process, the required tonnage of the machine and the delivery date of the mould. (more detailed quotation should include product size and weight, mold size and weight, etc.
3) Purchase order: customer order, deposit issue and supplier order acceptance.
4) Mold production planning and schedule arrangement: at this stage, we need to reply to the customer according to the specific delivery date of the mold.
5) Mold design: the possible design software includes Pro / Engineer, UG, Solidworks, AutoCAD, CATIA, etc
6) Purchasing materials
7) Mold processing: the processes involved include turning, milling, heat treatment, grinding, CNC, EDM, WEDM, jig grinding, laser engraving, polishing, etc.
8) Mold assembly
9) Trial run
10) Sample evaluation report (SER)
11) Ser approval
