The Moldfactory: The heart of our production and the key to high-quality products
Each mold represents an idea, a vision and a passion for excellent design and first-class quality. It’s fascinating to see how these designs that once only existed on paper are now becoming tangible products.
The process of making molds for production is a combination of creativity and technical know-how. Each individual shape is manufactured with the greatest care and precision in order to realize the finest details and the desired functions. It is impressive to see how Ms. Perdix’s ideas materialize in the form of molds and lay the foundation for our high-quality products.
General information about molds
Molds are tools or devices used to shape materials into a specific shape. They are widely used in various industries such as plastic processing, metal casting, ceramic manufacturing and even the food industry.
The process of mold making begins with designing the desired shape. This can be done either manually through modeling or computer-aided using CAD software. Once the design is determined, the mold is created by pouring or cutting the desired material, such as silicone, aluminum or steel, into the mold.
Selecting the right material for the mold depends on various factors, such as the type of material to be molded, the desired number of pieces and the desired surface finish of the end product. Some molds require additional features such as cooling systems to control the material during the molding process and ensure optimal molding.
Molds offer numerous advantages in production. They enable the efficient production of identical products in large quantities. Using molds can also save material because the material is limited to exactly the desired shape. Molds also offer precise and repeatable shaping, resulting in consistent product quality.
Mold care and maintenance is also important to ensure long life and optimal performance. Regular cleaning, inspection and, if necessary, repairs are required to avoid wear and tear or damage.
