What is the difference between plastic mold injection molding and metal mold stamping?

      What is the difference between plastic injection molds and metal stamping molds? People who are not familiar with these two fields may not be clear about them, and they may simply think that plastic mold injection is made of plastic, and metal mold stamping mold is made of hardware. In fact, it is not simple. Today, let's learn the difference between plastic mold injection and metal mold stamping mold.

   1. Metal stamping dies are practical tools used in industrial production to shape metal and polymer materials into desired shapes using various stamping machines and tools mounted on stamping machines. These practical tools are collectively referred to as metal stamping dies, and the products produced are called metal stamping parts.

   2. Plastic production and processing molds are integral plastic molds used for injection molding machines, flame retardant plastics, introduction, injection molding, and low foaming polyurethane molding. It mainly includes a flexible concave mold composed of a base thick steel plate composed of concave molds, concave mold components, and a wooden card board composed of concave molds. It also includes a convex mold composed of a base thick steel plate composed of convex molds, convex mold components, a wooden card board composed of convex molds, a concave mold broken component, and a side section composed of a board with a deformable core. Harmonious changes of convex and concave molds and auxiliary forming systems. We can produce plastic parts for product series with different appearances and specifications.

    3. The most fundamental difference between them is that hardware stamping molds produce hardware products, while plastic molds produce plastic products. Moreover, the structure of the mold shell is also different. Plastic molds have refrigeration units, while hardware molds do not. The basic concept of product molding is also different. Plastic molds are formed by cooling after injection molding, while hardware molds are formed by cold stacking standard thick carbon steel plates.

    4. From the perspective of the efficacy of mold shells, hardware molds are mass production machines and equipment for metal products. The raw materials used are generally iron, copper, or aluminum alloy profiles. Plastic molds are used for injection molding products, and common raw materials are also plastic.
