PRODUCTION TOOLING

Tooling Engineered for Stable, Repeatable Production.

Production tooling is designed to manufacture consistent parts over extended production runs while maintaining dimensional, functional and cosmetic requirements.

Every mold is engineered around the part geometry, material, expected volume, cycle time and target tool life. Mold steel, cooling, gating, ejection and wear components are selected as part of one complete production system.

At HordRT , tooling design, mold manufacturing, validation and injection molding are managed within one coordinated workflow.

Discuss Your Tooling Project
01

PROJECT DEFINITION

Requirements Review

Part data, resin, expected volume, tolerance, appearance and production requirements are reviewed.

02

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS

DFM & Mold Concept

Draft, wall thickness, undercuts, gating, ejection and potential manufacturing risks are evaluated.

03

TOOL ENGINEERING

Detailed Mold Design

Mold structure, runner, cooling, ejection and replaceable components are fully engineered.

04

MOLD MANUFACTURING

Precision Machining

Components are manufactured through CNC machining, EDM, wire cutting, grinding and heat treatment.

05

TOOL ASSEMBLY

Fitting & Inspection

Mold components are fitted, assembled and inspected before the initial molding trial.

06

INITIAL TRIAL

T0 Mold Trial

Initial samples are molded to assess filling, ejection, cycle conditions and part quality.

07

VALIDATION

Inspection & Optimization

Sample measurements and molding results guide necessary corrections and further validation trials.

08

PRODUCTION RELEASE

Approval & Production

Once requirements are confirmed, the mold is released for production or prepared for export.

Planning a Tool for
Long-Term Production?

Send us your part drawings, material requirements and expected production volumes. Our engineering team will review the tooling structure, mold life, tolerances and validation requirements.

ENGINEERING REVIEW What to Send
  • Part Drawings 3D CAD files and 2D drawings
  • Material Requirements Resin grade, color and additives
  • Production Volumes Annual demand and tool-life target
  • Quality Standards Tolerances and validation needs
DFM feedback included with project review
01 What information do you need to quote my production tooling project?

Please send your 3D CAD file, resin specification, expected annual volume, surface requirements, tolerances and any relevant 2D drawings. If some details are not confirmed, our engineers can recommend practical tooling options.

02 What is the difference between rapid tooling and production tooling?

Rapid tooling prioritizes shorter lead times and lower initial investment for prototypes and low-volume production. Production tooling uses more durable materials and production-focused construction for longer tool life and repeat manufacturing.

03 Which SPI mold classes can HordRT manufacture?

HordRT supports SPI Class 101 through Class 105 tooling. Production programs commonly use Class 101, 102 or 103, depending on the resin, expected volume, operating conditions and required tool life.

04 How long can a production mold last?

Tool life depends on mold class, steel hardness, molded resin, part geometry, cycle conditions and maintenance. A Class 101 mold may be designed for more than one million cycles, subject to the final tooling specification and operating conditions.

05 How do you validate a production mold?

Validation typically includes mold construction inspection, molding trials, sample measurement, appearance review and evaluation of molding conditions. Required corrections are completed and verified before production release.

06 Can HordRT provide both tooling and injection molding?

Yes. We support DFM, mold design, mold manufacturing, tooling validation, injection molding, inspection and related secondary processes within one coordinated manufacturing workflow.

07 Can you manufacture production molds for export?

Yes. Production molds can be manufactured for export according to agreed customer standards, machine specifications and component preferences. Export and documentation requirements should be confirmed at the beginning of the project.
