Moldbase and molds play different roles in the manufacturing process, and the differences between the two are as follows:
The definition and function are different. Mold blanks are usually the raw materials used in the manufacturing of molds, which can be metal or non-metallic materials, such as plastic, and are mainly used in the casting or injection molding process of mold manufacturing; A mold is a tool used for forming, shaping, cooling, or connecting materials, which defines the shape and size of the final product and is mainly used for mass production of high-quality products.
The production method and materials are different. The production of mold embryos usually involves the casting process, which requires high temperature and high pressure to melt the material and inject it into the mold; The production of molds is more precise and complex, and may require high-precision processes such as CNC machining and micro engraving.
The scope of use and lifespan are different. Moldbase have a wide range of applications and can be used to manufacture various metal and non-metallic products; The use of molds is more specialized, and their quality and efficiency directly affect the quality and production efficiency of products. The design and manufacturing of molds need to consider various factors such as material characteristics, forming process, and usage environment.
