Porous Metal Inserts: Precision Venting for Injection Molding

Porous metal inserts are cutting-edge mold components designed to enhance venting systems in injection molding. These inserts allow trapped air and gases to exit the mold cavity efficiently, ensuring flawless part production.

With their robust design and tailored porosity, they are perfect for demanding applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods. Discover how our porous metal inserts elevate mold performance and part consistency.

Primary Functions

✔️ Removes air and gases to eliminate defects like voids or burn spots.
✔️ Ensures uniform cavity filling for superior surface finishes.
✔️ Boosts production reliability across diverse molding setups.
✔️ Reduces cycle times by optimizing gas evacuation.

Processing Materials

Our porous metal inserts are crafted from premium materials:

Sintered Stainless Steel

  • High durability and resistance to wear (e.g., 304, 316).

Sintered Copper Alloys

  • Excellent heat dissipation and permeability.

Specialty Metals

  • Tailored options for unique molding challenges.

Post-Processing & Surface Treatments

To maximize functionality, our inserts undergo:

Sintering Process

Achieves precise porosity and strength.

CNC Machining

Ensures tight tolerances and seamless mold integration.

Surface Polishing

Minimizes material buildup and enhances release.

Protective Coatings

Optional layers to boost durability and performance.

Why Fecision for Mold Components?

Precision and Accuracy

Using state-of-the-art CNC machining, EDM, and other advanced manufacturing techniques, Fecision ensures all mold components meet tight tolerances and high-quality standards.

Customization

Fecision understands the unique needs of each project. Our team works closely with customers to provide tailored solutions, ensuring that each component fits perfectly within the target mold system.

Rapid Prototyping

Fecision offers rapid prototyping for mold components, enabling customers to test and refine designs quickly before moving into full production.

End-to-End Services

From initial design and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis to final mold assembly and testing, Fecision handles every aspect of the mold component manufacturing process.

Process for Manufacturing Mold Components

The process of making a mold component involves several stages, from design to manufacturing and finishing.
The specific steps can vary depending on the type of mold component being created, but the general steps remain consistent across most types of mold components.
 

Manufacturability Evaluation

The initial step involves assessing the manufacturablity of the mold component. If it's deemed feasible, we proceed with production immediately. If not, we will provide a detailed DFM (Design for Manufacturability) report to the customer. If necessary, mold flow analysis is performed to simulate the flow of molten material within the mold.

Material Selection

Next, choose the right material for mold parts. Common materials for mold components include steel alloys, aluminum, stainless steel, specialty alloys, etc. If needed, a prototype may be made using rapid prototyping techniques (e.g., 3D printing, CNC machining) to test the design for fit, function, and manufacturability.

Mold Components Manufacturing

Once the design and materials are finalized, the mold component undergoes CNC machining. If required, the mold component may undergo heat treatment, depending on the material and intended application. For certain components, surface hardening methods such as nitriding or carburizing are applied to increase wear resistance.

Shipping

For molds with multiple components, such as multi-cavity molds or molds with inserts, the individual components are carefully assembled into the final mold system. Once our engineers confirm the product meets all requirements, it will be shipped. We maintain ongoing communication to ensure the customer is fully satisfied with the product they receive.
