A family mold is a mold which combines different part numbers into the same mold base. There can be multiple cavities of the different part numbers. Family molds can often have a mold building cost advantage over molds dedicated to a single part number. The are applicable to all our molding processes: Injection Molding,
Mold inserts that utilize a standard, common frame. The molds mount into the frame by a variety of methods. The frame typically stays mounted in the molding machine. There are a few standards for unit inserts, Master Unit Die, Round Mate, are two common ones.
The SPI mold finish ratings allow you to specify a general mold surface finish. The finish is a call-out on the mold itself, not on the finished product as the final part finish will vary with processing, plastic material, mold quality and mold steel. If you need exact texture matching of plastic parts then a more detailed standard is required.
