For large injection molds, split machining can help reduce deformation risk, improve machining stability, and protect cosmetic or functional product surfaces.
Family mold layout should consider not only cavity balance and filling, but also robot picking stability after ejection. Learn how part placement affects automated production.
A mold design should not only look correct on the drawing. It must also be practical to machine, assemble, try out, adjust, maintain, and run repeatedly in production. At Jeancen Mold, our senior tool
Complex plastic parts increase mold cost not because of size, but because of undercuts, machining difficulty, narrow process windows, and long-term maintenance risk. Learn what drives tooling cost bef
A heavy-duty nylon part used in a wet environment should not be treated as a simple "build the mold and test later" project. In this case, Jeancen helped an Australian hardware customer reduce materia
A relay housing may look like a small electronics part, but in tooling terms, it can carry several high-risk features at the same time. In this project, the customer needed a high-precision housing wi
If you are sourcing injection mold tooling, one of the biggest mistakes is assuming that all quotes for the same part are directly comparable. They are often not. Two suppliers may quote the same geom
Choosing the right injection mold type is one of the most important decisions before steel cutting. Many tooling problems that appear later in sampling or production do not start with machining. They
Anyone involved in plastic product development, sourcing, or production planning has probably heard this idea before: if several different parts can be combined into one mold, it must be cheaper than
In injection mold development, the choice of runner system is not just a tooling detail. It directly affects mold cost, material waste, cycle time, part consistency, automation compatibility, and long
