Injection moulds can be expensive to make, depending on
their complexity, but because of the large number of
products which must be produced, the bulk price can stay low
which makes the product become economically interesting. The
size of the mould is determined by the shape and the
dimensions of the product. Besides that, the tolerances, the
call-off quantity, the capacity and dimensions of the
available injection moulding machine is of importance. The
size of the mould is determined by the shape and the
dimensions of the product. |

The design of injection moulds is a skill of its own. During
the designing of the mould attention is paid to the shape of
the product and to the properties of the synthetic material
which is to be used, namely, to thwart signs of shrinkage
and the related distortions. Furthermore, attention must be
paid to the properties and the size of the injection
moulding machine and the demands made to realized the
planned production capacity. Because approximately half of
the cycle consists of cooling the synthetic material, most
of the attention is paid to this. The designing of injection
moulds is, therefore, a process where quality, speed and
cost price form the most important parameters.

The mould manufactures within our relations, have the right
knowledge, means and techniques to build qualitatively
high-quality moulds. They are represented worldwide in The
Netherlands, Lithuania and China, among others. To be able
to test complex products or product assemblies, we offer the
opportunity to build low-cost test moulds. In behalf of
production and/or assembly automation, the mould
manufacturer can fabricate the necessary parts to build
peripheral equipment and assembly units together with our
technical team. Mould production overseas can deliver a
substantial saving on costs, given that it is done in the
right way. Because we are known to a number of large tool
manufacturers in foreign countries, projects can be taken to
a tool manufacturer who can meet the demands and wishes of
the customer. |

By
working with mould specialists who are constantly present on
location, the project planning and the quality of the mould is
guaranteed. They take care of measure reports and they make weekly
progress reports.
To
guarantee the flexibility of deliveries, Smit plastic has a heavily
protected and climate controlled space for mould storage. |
