Mold Capability Validation Supervision

Fabricating your tooling in China? Our engineer goes on-site to oversee the fabricator’s testing so you have peace of mind that the molds reach your standards and can be shipped out safely. Typically used for plastic injection molds.

Your tooling is a critical investment and if you’re getting it fabricated in China, as many companies do, you can’t afford for it to arrive at your production facility with any defects that prevent it from functioning correctly and producing products in the volume and at the quality you require.

It’s normal for your toolmaker to test and validate the mold production capability before shipping it out, but, as with most products manufactured in China, it is essential for you to have visibility and control over the process and not rely solely on their report.

This solution puts control back in your hands and reduces the risk of receiving defective or sub-standard tooling.

Mold Capability Validation Supervision

This solution puts control back in your hands and reduces the risk of receiving defective or sub-standard tooling.

A Sofeast technical engineer travels to your toolmaker’s facility and supervises their validation of the mold’s capability, reporting back findings to you so any issues can be addressed by the supplier long before the mold is shipped out.

This solution makes sense for particularly expensive molds, or when issues during injection molding would be very expensive.

How much does mold capability validation supervision cost?

Pricing is tailored to each project based on its scope and complexity. Typical costs vary depending on product type, supplier location, and required support.

We charge for our engineer’s time per man-day, from 400 USD per man-day.

Using the example given of 2 molds being checked, it might be up to 4 days x 2 molds = 8 days of work. More probably around 5 days, if they can be validated in parallel.
Additionally, the engineer will probably also have to stay in a hotel near your mold fabrication factory some of the time.

After understanding your project and needs we will give you an estimated cost that covers the man-days required and accommodation.

Mold Capability Validation Supervision FAQs

You are duplicating some existing molds and already have specifications for the molds.
You are buying 2 molds which are being fabricated in 1 factory in Shenzhen.
You have specific requirements to validate the capability of the molds to make good parts at a certain speed in a production setting.
After validation, the molds will be shipped to a factory in another country. It is very important that no problems are found in the molds once they have arrived.

If you are buying 1 or more molds, our engineer supports your interests by being your eyes and ears on-site and assuring that the molds perform as you need them to. This solution makes the process of purchasing injection tooling from China a lot safer.
