We Build Your Mold in the Digital World Before Cutting a Single Gram of Steel.
Expert DFM analysis, Mold Flow Simulation, and Tooling Design optimization to ensure your first shot is your best shot.
The Gatekeeper
Comprehensive DFM Analysis: The First Step
Every project starts with a rigorous DFM report. We identify issues that factories often ignore, de-risking your production before it begins.
Draft Analysis
Ensuring parts eject smoothly without drag marks or sticking.
Wall Thickness
Detecting sink marks, flow hesitation risks, and uneven cooling.
Undercuts
Optimizing sliders and lifters design to reduce tooling complexity and cost.
Gating Strategy
Placing gates to hide vestige, balance filling, and minimize cosmetic defects.

Predicting Reality with Mold Flow Simulation
We don't guess. We use advanced simulation software to predict exactly how molten plastic will behave inside the mold cavity before cutting steel.
-
Filling Time & Balance: Ensuring multi-cavity molds fill evenly to prevent overpacking or short shots.
-
Air Traps & Weld Lines: Strategic venting positioning to avoid burns and cosmetic defects on visible surfaces.
-
Warpage Prediction: Identifying potential deformation and compensating for shrinkage in the mold design phase.
Result: Reduced cycle time, minimized scrap rate, and faster T1 approval.
Structure & Components
Precision Tooling Design Strategy
We design high-performance molds compatible with your local standards (SPI Class 101/102), ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance.
Export Standards Commitment
We exclusively use internationally recognized standard components. This ensures that if you move the mold to your local facility, you can easily find spare parts and perform maintenance without relying on custom Chinese components.
Case Study
Optimizing for Cost & Performance
Original Design
As received from clientChallenge:
Complex undercut feature on the internal wall requiring 3 separate mechanical sliders and complex parting line.
Implication: High tooling cost, risk of slider wear, longer cycle time.
Vanshol Proposal
Value Engineering OutcomeSolution:
Proposed minor part redesign (approved by client) to eliminate the undercut, allowing for a simple open-shut tool design.
Result:
- • Tooling Cost Saved: $4,500 USD
- • Cycle Time Reduced: 12%
