01

What this service covers

CNC machining of mold steel plates, blocks and inserts — from pre-machined blanks to finished mold components.

02

How it works

You send material grade, sizes and 2D/3D drawings. We confirm all specs, then combine cutting and CNC machining to deliver ready-to-use parts.

03

Pre-machined mold steels

We pre-machine mold steel plates and blocks to size, leaving allowances for your grinding, EDM and final fitting.

04

Mold parts & components

We machine cores, cavities and mold components directly to your drawings, ready for assembly and mold trials.

Quality Checks for Finished Molds & Pre-Machined Mold Bases

Learn More
01

Steel & Hardness Verified

Mold steel grade and hardness of cores, cavities and wear areas are checked.

02

Assembly & Motion Check

Mold opening/closing, ejectors, sliders and cooling are tested for smooth operation.

03

Trial Shots & Part Inspection

Sample molding is used to check part dimensions, flash, short shots and overall quality.

04

Plate Size, Flatness & Parallelism

Base plates are ground and measured to provide a stable base for your core and cavity machining.

05

Guide & Hole Positions

Leader pins, guide bushings, dowel and bolt holes are machined and checked to drawing.

06

Material & Hardness Identification

Steel grade, hardness state and reference marks are clearly identified for your next machining steps.

Frequently Asked Question

For more information, please contact us
What does your CNC service cover? +
CNC machining of mold steel plates, blocks and inserts, from pre-machined blanks to finished mold components per drawings.
How do we start a job? +
You send material grade, sizes and 2D/3D drawings; we confirm specs, process route and tolerances, then machine and deliver ready-to-use parts.
Can you supply material, or only do toll machining? +
Both. We can pre-machine mold steel plates/blocks to size with allowances, or machine finished cores/cavities to your drawings.
What files do you accept? +
2D/3D drawings are fine (e.g., STEP/IGES/DWG). Please include material, key dimensions/tolerances and any finishing notes; we'll confirm before machining.
Do you leave machining allowances for downstream processes? +
Yes. For pre-machined plates/blocks we can leave grinding/EDM allowances as requested and mark by drawing/position for easy assembly.
Do you handle both prototypes and batches? +
Yes. From one-off pre-machined blocks to series production of mold components—we'll align capacity with your timeline.
What affects pricing and lead time? +
Material and size, machining route (pre-machined vs. finished parts), tolerances and quantity. We'll confirm the lead time upon spec review.
Can you provide inspection before shipment? +
Yes. Dimensional checks per drawing; inspection scope (reports, marking, packaging) can be aligned during order confirmation.
