The mold development process transforms a product concept into a production-ready tool. This article explains each development stage, the decisions OEM teams must make, and how proper sequencing reduces risk, controls cost, and ensures stable mass production.
Many mass production quality issues originate not on the factory floor, but during mold development. This article explains how tooling decisions shape part consistency, defect rates, and long-term production stability—and why improving quality often starts before production ever begins.
Mold development is the engineering process that turns a product design into a stable, repeatable production tool. This article explains what mold development includes, how it differs from simple tooling, and why early decisions determine long-term manufacturing quality, cost control, and production readiness.
