Plastic Injection Mold Tooling Management Program

If you have tooling made in China, it is a large investment you want to secure. Risks are especially high when molds are transferred to another company. We can help you validate those molds while they are still in the fabrication shop, where adjustments can still be made relatively quickly and inexpensively.

This program is for importers who need to get tooling for plastic injection molded parts fabricated in China, Vietnam, or India.

You need someone local to keep close control over the tooling design and fabrication process because:

  • Tooling is often an expensive investment, especially for plastic injection molding
  • Delays in the tooling have a knock-on effect of delaying your entire production
  • Good tooling = good quality products

Furthermore, you may want to feel secure that once the tooling is in use by your Chinese suppliers it is being kept in good condition and only used for authorized productions.

Our team includes engineers who’re tooling experts and work on your behalf to detect risks and issues throughout the tooling’s design & fabrication, as well as during plastic part productions.

Tooling is an investment that could cost you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is not easy to fix, nor is it cheap. Also, any issues cause delays which hold up your entire manufacturing project and throw delivery times into chaos.

Therefore, if you need plastic injection mold tooling designed and fabricated for use in creating your product or components such as plastic enclosures this program gives you the peace of mind that the entire process is handled by specialists on location in China.
Furthermore, during the program, we monitor the quality of parts coming off of the tooling and secure it between productions.

Our team is here to support your project and leave nothing to chance, as the process of designing, fabricating, and using tooling is complex.

How much does it cost?
Pricing is tailored to each project based on its scope and complexity. Typical costs vary depending on product type, supplier location, and required support.

    Plastic Injection Mold Tooling Management Program FAQs

    The program is often a combination of design reviews, supplier vetting, testing, and inspections on parts coming off of the tooling.

    Here’s a breakdown of the common milestones reached during tooling fabrication and use in manufacturing (in black) and the activities undertaken by Sofeast to support you (in orange).

    If you go for a full program, and depending on your needs, here are the benefits you can expect:

    • As a user of plastic injection mold tooling your risks will be reduced at every stage, including the key risks of ending up with poor quality tooling, non-conforming products, and suppliers who use your tooling without your permission.
    • Having a local partner on the ground to handle delicate tooling fabrication and assure product quality is satisfactory is valuable given that access to China from overseas may be difficult.
    • Our tooling engineers support you to review designs and confirm tooling that can be manufactured and will create great quality products.
    • We work with the tooling shop to perform trials and we inspect the parts off of tooling, and we may suggest changes if issues are found.
    • We document a setup process for your supplier and supervise that they set up and use your tooling correctly.
    • Your IP is kept as secure as possible and your supplier will be monitored and unable to use your tooling to manufacture your products to sell to any other customers.
    • You’re never out of control of the project, as your dedicated project manager will update you in English on its progress at every step of the way.
