Fujipunch is a factory for metal stamping. It including design, processing, mold and mass production . Total about 500 sets of molds have been done. There is something that can fix the shape so that mass production. Specifically, there are metal molds, plastic molds, and silicone molds (room temperature single-component curing molds and heat curing molds are different), die-casting molds, extrusion molds, and the like.

The mold can be very simple or complicated. The mold used for the motor casing is a mold with high tolerance requirements or high appearance requirements. The small molds are tens of thousands per sets. Because it is so big that expensive. The steel used for the mold of one or two meters must be several tons, and it takes tens of thousands to buy steel.

A simple 400*300 mold is about tens of thousands of dollars. It is complicated will not exceed 200,000. Even the mold embryos are import S136H. A large part of the price of all the parts in the mold requires surface treatment… If the demand is high, the price is already transparent. The metal mold is mainly for punching and forming bending. Ultra-precision mold full tungsten steel punches all slow wire processing optical mold parts is likely to be tens of thousands.

Anyone who needs to deep drawing stamping, production the die, here the “mold” refers to the tool used to produce the hardware shell. To produce motor casings, sensor casings, etc., molds must be made first, and then molds are used to mass-produce such casings. There are many factors affecting the price of the mold, such as: the volume of the product (more volume is more expensive), the requirements of the customer for the accuracy of the mold, the requirements of the production capacity, etc. The cost of mold is only the appearance and shell of the stamping product. Produced, such as tolerance assurance, quality control, cleaning, mold adjustment and other hidden labor costs are not counted.

The profit of the mold factory is not in the production of molds. The profit point lies in how many finished products can be produced in one set of mold. The larger the output, the higher the profit. In general, the shells of some small motors used in new energy vehicles are generally used in 7-9 years. The mold factory only collects the cost price of one mold (steel + manual + working hours), and even loses the mold. . For this purpose, 50% of the cash will be invested in the mold.

Since the mold factory can invest in mold processing fees for a large number of products, why they are not free? Some customers ask if they can save the prepayment of the mold. In fact, it is impossible, Fujipunch can quote to the guests. It is lower than the price of mold processing, but it will never be charged without the mold fee. Otherwise, it will break the rules, and if it destroys the rules, it will be destroyed after waiting for the rules. If each mold factory does not receive the advance payment for the mold fee, then When the mold is finished, the customer’s product design changes, the customer does not want the product or does not have mass production, or the mold made by the mold factory cannot meet the mass production requirements, when the plan can not keep up with the change, what should the mold do? This industry will become so rigorous, every one of them will do so every time the molds are made to sleep forever to achieve value, how many mold factories to do useless work. Many mold factories are not dead without orders.

Fujipunch must pay the mold prepayment, not to see the money to open, but to be responsible for each cost paid by the customer, but also responsible for the customer’s property. Once the mold is designed and processed, it represents several tons of steel cost. If you can’t let it punch out the product, it is a pile of scrap iron. Once the mold starts processing, the customer’s property begins to take shape.

A foreign customer who had contacted N times suddenly sent me an email. I wanted to move the mold that had been stamped in Fujipunch to my factory. The letter also explained the reason for the mold shift. It has been a cooperative relationship with this old customer for several years. Under normal circumstances, if you don’t give the mass production order promised before, Fujipunch will not agree to the model shift, but this time it has nothing to do with the mold fee. Customers also have unexpected situations. After the approval of the leaders, we agreed to move the model.

Whether the mold is expensive or not, in fact, you can’t stay at the price from the data, you should be have to look at the value that the mold has to create.
