Dual-Color Injection Mold for Electronic Cigarette

Project Background: Our client, a manufacturer of electronic cigarettes, wanted to create a new product line that featured dual-color injection molding. The client approached us to design and manufacture the dual-color injection mold for electronic cigarette for for their new product line.

Electronic cigarette dual-color mold processing requirements:

1. Material selection: The mold material should be made of high-quality steel, such as S136 or NAK80, which has good corrosion resistance and high hardness.
2. Design: The mold should be designed with a dual-color injection molding process in mind, with precise and complex patterns to ensure the finished product’s appearance and functionality.
3. Precision: The mold should have high precision, with a tolerance of ±0.02mm or better, to ensure that the finished product meets the required specifications.
4. Cooling system: The mold should have an efficient cooling system to ensure that the material solidifies quickly and evenly, reducing the risk of defects such as warping or cracking.
5. Surface treatment: The mold should be treated with a surface coating, such as electroplating or nitriding, to increase its hardness and durability.
6. Maintenance: The mold should be regularly maintained and cleaned to ensure its longevity and performance.
7. Testing: Before use, the mold should be thoroughly tested to ensure that it is functioning correctly and producing quality products.

Dual-Color Injection Mold for Electronic Cigarette

Our solutions according to client’s requirements:

Step 1: Material Selection

Based on the customer’s requirements, we selected S136 steel for the mold material. S136 is a high-quality steel that is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness, and good machinability. We carefully inspected the steel for any defects and made any necessary corrections before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Design

Our experienced designers created a 3D mold design using advanced CAD software. The design incorporated precise and complex patterns that ensured the finished product’s appearance and functionality. We worked closely with the customer to ensure that the design met their specific needs and requirements.

Step 3: Precision Machining

Our engineers used advanced CNC machining technology to produce the mold with high precision. The machining process included drilling, milling, and grinding to create the necessary shapes and features. We used advanced measuring tool CMM to ensure that the mold’s dimensions were accurate to within ±0.02mm.

Step 4: Cooling System Design

Our team designed an efficient cooling system that ensured the material solidified quickly and evenly, reducing the risk of defects such as warping or cracking. We used advanced simulation software to optimize the cooling system design and ensure that it was as efficient as possible. The cooling system included channels that ran through the mold to circulate coolant and remove heat from the material.

Step 5: Surface Treatment

To increase the mold’s hardness and durability, we applied a surface coating of electroless nickel plating. The coating process involved depositing a layer of nickel onto the mold’s surface, which provided additional protection against wear and tear. The coating was carefully applied to ensure that it was even and adhered properly to the mold’s surface.

Step 6: Maintenance

To ensure the mold’s longevity and performance, we provided regular maintenance and cleaning services. We inspected the mold regularly to identify any signs of wear or damage and made any necessary repairs. We also cleaned the mold to remove any debris or contaminants that could affect its performance.

Step 7: Testing and Trial Runs

We thoroughly tested the mold to ensure that it was functioning correctly and producing quality products. Advanced testing equipments were used to measure the mold’s dimensions, verify that the cooling system was working correctly, and ensure that the finished product met the required specifications. We also conducted trial runs to ensure that the mold was producing high-quality products consistently.
