Mold #1
The True Cost of a Mold
When you consider all the variables affecting overall cost, think about how long your mold will last before it needs to be replaced. Think about any maintenance it could incur throughout its lifespan. Think about how many shots it will be good for. A1 guarantees our molds are good for 1 million shots*. We promise quality parts, and understand the customer’s need to do it right the first time.
* When molds are properly evaluated, adjusted, and maintained
The A1 Injection Mold Process
From conception to completion, A1 molds are built with world-class quality. A1 takes detail into account every step of the way, and our thorough review and communication with our clients are what help us achieve success and exceed expectations. It’s this strategic alliance with our customers that aids A1 in providing quality solutions.
1 Request for quote (RFQ)
Our process begins with a Request for Quote (RFQ).
2 Design for Manufacture (DFM)
When we are selected as your vendor, we Design for Manufacture (DFM), where we design a mold that meets your part and press needs. We complete the DFM before the purchase order to ensure A1 has a solid understanding of the customer’s needs and nothing was left out of the RFQ.
3 Design a 3d mold
In step three of the A1 Injection Mold Process, our team will design a 3D mold with our CAD system.
4 Final tool review
Our team performs a final tool review with the customer. This step allows communication to mitigate the need for mold revisions.
5 5. Electronically Schedule a Process
A1 takes every component and electronically schedules a process to achieve on-time delivery and superior quality in the finished mold.
