What materials can molds be made from?
Hardened or pre-hardened steel
Steel is the most expensive material option for molds, but is a preferred choice for many projects as it is more durable and lasts longer through high-stress injection processes than other metals.Aluminium
Aluminum is a great steel alternative for many projects since it is much more affordable. In some situations, however, aluminum may not withstand the strain of high production jobs or those with narrow tolerances.Metal alloys
Many metal alloys can also be attractive options for mold materials, depending on your project specifications. Feel free to ask our engineering team about what metal alloys could work well for your designs. Our engineering team is here to assist you in examining design strategies and providing recommendations, regardless of the materials you wish to work with. We are dedicated to ensuring that your product achieves the highest possible level of quality.
