The mold maker that knows steel
Not sure which steel fits your resin? We recommend it in the DFM — with HRC hardness and expected mold life.
Mold Class & Expected Life
Pick the class that matches your annual volume — we recommend it in the DFM, with steel and hardness.
| SPI Class | Cavity life | Typical steel | Hardness | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 101 | 1M+ shots | H13 · 8407 · S136 | 50–54 HRC | High-volume production — automotive, 3C connectors |
| 102 | ≈ 1M shots | H13 · S136 · 420ESR | 48–52 HRC | Mid-to-high volume — consumer electronics, optics |
| 103 | 500K shots | P20 · 718H · NAK80 | 38–42 HRC | Mid volume — appliances, industrial housings |
| 104 | 100K shots | P20 · 718H | 30–36 HRC | Low volume / bridge tooling |
| 105 | < 500 shots | Aluminum · soft steel | — | Prototype, design validation, sampling |
