Why do we manufacture the sample mould first?

In the production of the silicone mold, the steel material for the special mold is used, and the size of the template is determined according to the size of the product. A template with a length * width * height of 300 mm * 300 mm * 30 mm is usually used. Simpler products generally take about 2-3 days from programming to processing; complex is about 5-7 days. The more complex the product structure, the longer the mold opening time.

Generally, when the silicone mold is to be used, the sample mold is made first. Why do we make the sample mold first instead of directly making the production mold? First, the number of holes in the sample mold is small, the use of the template is small, and the processing time is short, so that the cost is relatively small and the efficiency is high. Secondly, making the sample mold can bring other benefits. For example, even if the product structure is not confirmed for the first time, it is convenient to modify the mold. After the modification, the proof can be confirmed immediately, which shortens the time. Third, because of the low cost, making the sample mold first can reduce the risk.

The above is when the customer cooperates with our company, we will first make the sample model for the customer to confirm, and the customer feels that there is no problem and then making the production mold.
