Three-Piece Collapsible Mold is a special mold used for injection molding. It consists of three parts: upper mold, lower mold and middle mold. This design allows part of the mold to be folded for easier removal from the molded part. Three-piece Collapsible Molds are often used to make parts with internal structures, such as holes or hollow sections. Its design can not only reduce damage to molded parts, but also improve production efficiency. This kind of mold is widely used in industries such as plastic products, medical equipment, and electronic products. It is especially suitable for producing complex parts that require internal structures, bringing convenience and efficiency to the production process.
Working Principle:
The working principle of the Three-Piece Collapsible Mold is based on its unique construction design. The mold consists of an upper mold, a lower mold, and an intermediate mold, which can be collapsed with either the upper or lower mold. During the injection molding process, the mold is first closed and the upper and lower molds are clamped together to fill the mold cavity with injected plastic. When the molding cycle is complete, the middle mold is folded, allowing a portion of the molded part to be easily removed from the mold without excessive force. This folding design greatly simplifies the process of removing the molded part, improves ease and safety of operation, and reduces damage to the molded part. This type of mold is suitable for the production of parts that require complex internal structures, bringing convenience and efficiency to the production process.
Features:

Precise molding: The three-piece structure ensures the stability and accuracy of the mold, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the molded parts.
High reliability: After optimized design and strict testing, the stability and reliability of the mold are ensured, and it performs well in long-term production.
Wide range of applications: Suitable for plastic products, medical equipment, electronic products and other industries, providing effective solutions for the production of various complex parts.
Maintenance and care
Regular Cleaning:Regularly clean the molds to remove plastic residues and impurities in the mold cavities and to maintain the surface finish of the molds.
Checking wear and tear:Regularly check the parts of the mold, especially the wear and tear of the folding core, and replace the parts with serious wear and tear in time to ensure the normal use of the mold.
Lubrication:Regularly lubricate the movable parts of the mold to reduce friction and wear and prolong the service life of the mold.
Storage environment:The mold should be stored in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid moisture and corrosion and keep the performance of the mold stable.
Application Fields
Automotive Industry:In the automotive industry, Three-Piece Collapsible Mold is widely used to manufacture parts with complex geometric shapes, such as instrument panels, lamp housings and so on.
