Fixed Mold

A fixed mold is a tool used to manufacture products of specific shapes, widely applied in the forming processes of materials such as plastics, metals, and rubber. It consists of upper and lower parts and produces high-precision, consistent products through steps like mold closing, material injection, cooling/curing, and mold opening. Fixed molds are suitable for mass production, offering advantages of high efficiency and precision, but they come with high initial costs and limited flexibility. Common applications include plastic products, metal casting, and rubber goods. Molds are typically made of steel or aluminum alloy, and key factors such as parting surfaces, cooling systems, and venting systems must be considered during design. Regular maintenance and care are essential to ensure the long-term use of molds and the stability of product quality.
