The difference between metal stamping molds and plastic processing molds

What is the difference between metal stamping molds and plastic processing molds? Many people may not be clear. They think that metal stamping molds are made of hardware and plastic processing molds are made of plastic. Then today, the metal stamping manufacturers will explain to you the metal stamping molds and The difference between plastic processing molds. The difference between metal stamping dies and plastic processing dies: 1. Metal stamping dies are used in industrial production to use various presses and special tools installed on the press to make metal materials into parts or products of the required shape through pressure. These special tools are collectively referred to as metal stamping dies, and the processed products are metal stamping parts. 2. The plastic processing mold is a combined plastic mold for compression molding, extrusion molding, injection, blow molding and low foam molding. It mainly includes a concave mold with a variable cavity composed of a female mold combined substrate, a female mold component and a female mold combined card board, and a convex mold combined substrate, a convex mold component, a convex mold combined card board, and a cavity cutting component A punch with a variable core composed of a side-cut combined board. Coordinated changes of mold convex, concave mold and auxiliary molding system. Series of plastic parts of different shapes and sizes can be processed. 3. The most essential difference between them is that the hardware products are produced in the metal stamping mold, and the plastic products are produced in the plastic mold, and the structure of the mold is different. The plastic mold has a cooling system, but the hardware mold does not. The molding principle of the product is also different. The plastic mold is formed by cooling after injection, and the hardware mold is formed by cold backlogging of standard thickness steel plates. 4. From the perspective of the function of the mold, the hardware mold is a mass production tool for metal products. The materials used are generally iron, copper or aluminum. The plastic mold is made of plastic products, and the raw materials used are also plastic raw materials. Let’s first introduce the difference between metal stamping molds and plastic processing molds. From the perspective of the mold itself, simple hardware molds, such as blanking and punching holes, are easier to learn at the beginning, but for some composite molds and high precision It is more difficult for the products, such as terminal type, flanging and folding special-shaped multi-step type, stretch type, and automobile covering parts. It is not easy to get started with plastic molds even with basic two-plate molds, because the knowledge involved is wider, mainly because the engineering analysis is not easy to master, and there are many types of molds, such as injection molding, compression molding, blow molding, etc. After you get started, you have to learn more about the structure and manufacturing processing accuracy and craftsmanship, such as various core pulling, unthreading, two-color, multi-color, gas-assisted, bottle-in-bottle, etc., and then products with high-precision requirements like hardware such as watches Gears and so on.
