BUILT FOR TOOL TRANSFER
What Is Export Tooling?
A complete injection mold engineered, validated and documented for transfer to your selected production facility.
“
Export tooling is designed to operate independently after it leaves the original moldmaker’s facility.
Unlike tooling intended to remain at the supplier’s molding facility, an export mold requires a complete standalone mold base, compatible components and clearly defined mechanical, cooling and electrical interfaces.
The mold must match the destination factory’s machines and operating standards while providing the documentation needed for installation, production and future maintenance.
HordRT supports the complete process—from DFM and mold design to manufacturing, mold trials, documentation and shipment preparation.
Facility Compatibility
Specifications matched to the destination factory and machine.
Complete Documentation
Technical records support installation and future maintenance.

CUSTOMER-SPECIFIC TOOLING
Export Tooling Built Around Your Standards.
Every export mold is developed around the technical requirements of your destination factory—not simply around our internal production setup.
Mold Base and Component Standards
Mold bases, hot runner systems and replaceable components can be specified according to your approved suppliers and regional standards.
Machine and Interface Compatibility
Mold dimensions, locating rings, clamping arrangements, connectors and interfaces are matched to your production equipment.
Material and Tool-Life Requirements
Tool steel, hardness, surface treatment and mold construction are selected around resin, volume and expected production life.
Documentation and Identification
Tooling records, drawings and identification information are prepared to support installation, operation and maintenance.
OUR TOOLING PROCESS
From Your Standards to a Shipment-Ready Mold.
We manage export tooling through three controlled stages—definition, manufacturing and transfer—so the mold arrives ready for installation at your selected production facility.
STAGE 01
Define
Align the part, mold and destination requirements.
Requirements Review
Confirm part data, resin, production volume, target machine and destination factory standards.
DFM & Mold Design
Review molding risks and submit the complete tooling design for approval before manufacturing.
STAGE 02
Build
Manufacture, assemble and prove the tool.
Tool Manufacturing
Machine the mold base, cores, cavities and inserts according to the approved design.
Assembly & Inspection
Assemble the mold and inspect critical dimensions, movements, connections and components.
Mold Trials
Run mold trials to evaluate filling, cooling, ejection, part quality and process stability.
STAGE 03
Transfer
Prepare the approved mold for overseas production.
Final Validation
Complete the agreed inspection, trial records and tooling documentation before release.
Protection & Shipment
Clean and protect the mold against corrosion, then securely prepare it for international transport.
Customer approval is maintained at key project stages. Design, trial and transfer information remains aligned throughout the tooling program.
EXPORT TOOLING APPLICATIONS
Tooling Built for Different Production Programs.
From complex single-cavity molds to multi-cavity production tools, each export program is configured around the part, volume and destination facility.

WHY HORDRT
Export Tooling With Fewer Transfer Risks.
Export molds must continue performing after they leave the original toolmaker. We consider the destination factory, future maintenance and production requirements throughout the tooling program.
TOOLING EXPERIENCE
1,800+
Mold Sets Annual Capacity
A successful export mold should not depend on the original toolmaker to keep production running.
It should arrive with the correct configuration, proven performance and enough technical information for the receiving team to take over.
01
Requirements Defined Early
Machine information, component standards and handover requirements are reviewed before mold design is finalized.
02
Integrated Mold Manufacturing
Mold design, machining, assembly and trials are managed within one coordinated tooling workflow.
03
Validated Before Release
Mold trials and agreed inspections help identify tooling and molding issues before international shipment.
04
Clear Technical Handover
Agreed tooling records support installation, production setup and future mold maintenance.

01 What information do you need to quote an export mold?
Please send your 3D CAD files, available 2D drawings, preferred resin, expected production volume and tool-life requirements. Destination machine specifications and customer tooling standards should also be included when available.
02 What is the difference between export tooling and tooling kept at HordRT?
Export tooling is supplied as a complete standalone mold for operation at the customer’s selected facility. Tooling kept at HordRT may use our shared mold base system when appropriate, helping reduce tooling cost for low-volume production.
03 Can you build the mold to our component standards?
Yes. Mold bases, hot runner systems, standard components, connectors and accessories can be specified according to the approved customer requirements and destination factory standards.
04 What machine information is required for mold compatibility?
Typical information includes platen dimensions, tie-bar spacing, locating-ring size, nozzle details, mold-height range, clamping method, ejector arrangement and required electrical and cooling connections.
05 Will the export mold be tested before shipment?
Yes. Mold trials are completed to evaluate mold movement, filling, cooling, ejection, part quality and process stability. Agreed corrective actions are completed before final approval and release.
06 What documentation is supplied with the mold?
Depending on the agreed handover scope, documentation can include final mold design data, tooling drawings, component information, inspection records and mold trial information.
07 How is the mold prepared for international shipment?
The mold is cleaned and prepared with appropriate corrosion protection. It is then securely packed to reduce movement, contamination and environmental exposure during international transportation.
