1. What kind of mold factory to find better cooperation?

Currently the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta region has a lot of foreign investment, Taiwan-funded, Hong Kong-owned, private mold factory to choose from, a variety of qualifications mold factory advantages and disadvantages are compared as follows.

(1) Foreign mold factory

Foreign mold factory management practices, improve the process, strong sense of service, quality and service protection, these characteristics also determine the high cost, which means that the cost of mold opening will be relatively high. If the focus on product quality, the company has strong financial strength, you can choose the large-scale foreign mold factory. However, in the reality of the industry, large-scale foreign mold factories generally have fixed foreign customers and less orders from domestic enterprises. Even if it faces the orders of domestic enterprises, it is often quoted with the international market, many domestic finished products unbearable, a set of sophisticated mold easily hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars.

(2) Taiwan-funded, Hong Kong-funded mold factory

Taiwan-funded, Hong Kong-funded mold factory to benefit from Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places of industrial development started earlier and other factors, to accept the influence of foreign investment than the mainland enterprises several decades earlier, its standardized management and design concepts are relatively close to Japan and South Korea Europe and the United States Department Foreign companies. The price is moderate, not as high as the foreign mold factory, so some of the more powerful domestic finished products more favored choice of fully furnished Taiwan-funded, Hong Kong-funded mold factory as a long-term mold partners.

(3) private mold factory

Private mold factory by the majority of China's reform and opening up after the first to enter foreign-funded enterprises to work and contact the mold industry was founded by personnel, can be considered a rising star in the mold industry. Currently in the Pearl River Delta in mainland China, the Yangtze River Delta region is the large number of such private mold factory. Some of these mold factory rapid development of enterprises, after several years of development, in the hardware equipment, management processes, design concepts, business philosophy, quality awareness and achieved a high level, and constantly catch up with foreign technology, so the birth A group of domestic excellent precision molds enterprises, such enterprises mold prices and product prices relative to foreign investment, Taiwan-funded, Hong Kong-owned enterprises will have advantages, cost-effective, tend to attract many mold procurement staff's attention.

There are still many domestic private mold factory, processing workshops, only rely on the working wage savings of limited wage income as the original input capital, choose to buy performance and accuracy of processing equipment or second-hand equipment, the use of second-line production of B-type mold material, its Mold design rationality, production accuracy, mold life and product reliability often fail to meet customer requirements. Such enterprises fight the price, sometimes given the price will be too low to believe, in fact, it also led to the development of enterprises into a difficult cycle. If the production is not large, the less demanding situation can take care of these businesses, but if only for the low price, then the end result is likely to be picked because of cheap and sesame lost watermelon.

2. To find how large-scale cooperation in the mold factory is better?

Large-scale, medium-scale or small-scale? The choice in this regard depends on the circumstances, if only from a single factory size, many people think that the bigger the better, because the scale of great strength, complete it Well! The size of its size also indirectly reflects the degree of customer choice high and low! On the other hand, however, the bigger the scale is, the more it is unacceptable.

The choice of mold factory whether you as an important customer, that is, whether you attach importance to, it is very crucial, in fact, looking for suppliers like looking for the same, but also pay attention to each other, if your own financial strength is not strong, buy The amount of not large blindly choose large-scale cooperation in the mold factory, and sometimes spend the people do not take you as one thing, at present a lot of large mold factory is not responsible for small single or not out of this Kind of mentality, because in terms of the amount of orders or orders you can not meet their requirements, will let you have a hot face to touch people's cold buttocks feeling, ha ha ha! This analogy may not be appropriate, but it is more appropriate and realistic.

In this case most people will choose small and medium-sized mold factory, after all, the mold and product prices are more acceptable to the superior or have a treat, but soon you will find the worrying thing again, Die can be completed on time durability? How mass production? Die life how?

At this point suggest that you must pay attention to the basic common sense, that is, we must choose a complete set of equipment manufacturers, that is, we usually say the "all-natural" mold factory, which must have a matching precision CNC machining center, walking silk cutting , EDM mirror spark machine, high-speed high-precision injection molding machine, three yuan, two yuan measuring instruments and other important mold processing, production, testing the necessary equipment, we must consider this as the key to assessing and the final choice. Without these devices, it means that the mold factory in the mold manufacturing and production process needs to seek outward processing, there are three main adverse consequences:

First, increase your cost of mold opening, the cost increase; Second, the mold factory in the process of outsourcing process repeated communication and coordination of the transfer of the workpiece takes time, it will lengthen the mold-making cycle, it is likely to cause the mold and product delay, although the Procurement agreements or contracts will be marked with the relevant penalty clause, but in the event of delay, penalty money does not make up for the reality of enterprises and long-term losses, will make purchasers such as pins and needles, every day be dogged Scolded, called a awkward ah; the most terrible thing is the third point, the entire process of the mold factory out of processing can not be timely monitoring, to undertake the processing is often smaller than the mold factory only one or two second-hand equipment Of the processing shop, a lot of appearance looks good end of the mold because of the carelessness of the processing shop, savage operation, repeated welding and other means and processing methods resulting in deformation of the mold frame, reach the service life of the scrapped ahead of schedule, Even simply can not produce! Can not afford to hurt Of course, there are a lot of processing factories to provide external processing is also towards the development of precision direction.

3. How to effectively reduce the cost of procurement of mold?

For cost control, first of all need to understand the marketing department to know the estimated amount of new products will be how much? Is it huge?

In the new product development and evaluation stage, if the estimated order quantity does not reach 500000 or more it is recommended not to harden the mold, directly open the soft mold, which is what we usually call the test mode, soft mold lower cost, if the market does not respond well It eliminates the need to open some of the unnecessary cost of die.

If the late product sales market opened, product demand soared, ready at any time in the first set of module production in the process of reopening a second set of hard mode, that is, copy mode, this will not affect the production of products Delivery progress, there is a more obvious advantage is that: the first mold opening mold mold factory will sum up experience in the design and production, these experiences apply to the second set of mold opening mold will have a great Improve the space, even if you do not ask this point, the mold factory will undoubtedly take the initiative to do so because they will be less detours, but also to make the copy mode tend to perfect and perfect.

Conversely speaking, if the unknown product is expected to order the amount of cases starting from the beginning of the product launch on the open die, it will only add you indiscriminate purchase of at least 1/3 the cost of mold; Also in the engineering design phase also need to mold costs Taking into account, such as the use of S136 as the mold core material and the choice of the way into the plastic injection mold embryo, etc. will be varying degrees of a considerable increase in the cost of the mold. Of course, if the product requirements are high or customers specify what kind of materials require the use of what process except.

4. Finally, to sum up, to choose the right mold factory must pay attention to the following points:

(1) Do not blindly, blindly believe that the low purchase price. Behind the low-cost are often hidden some do not know the trap we are, or shoddy, or cut corners, to know that any one mold factory is to pay the rent to pay workers to raise water and electricity to make profits.

(2) must find a complete set of mold factory. When I was purchasing, I once had this lesson. At that time, I chose a small workshop-type mold factory because of the price. I did not even have a CNC machine and the other mechanical equipment was not complete. Only a few pieces of equipment Are also some of the patchwork of old equipment, and later the result is that the mold is to be opened out by them, but the repair did not make up for the final mass production, and I hurt with colleagues in the engineering department in the past with a few hard A night without success, I also because of the development of the mold factory was deducted from the month of all the performance bonuses, it really makes a recall ah!

(3) Finally, it is suggested that when you select a mold factory, you will be satisfied with the situation and characteristics of your own factory, and make reasonable choices after conducting objective evaluations with the company's departments in the mold and product demand positioning. Effect!
