Q
how long does a tooled injection molding last
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
The lifespan of a tool used in injection molding largely depends on the material it's made from. Generally, tools crafted from hardened steel have the longest life, capable of producing anywhere from 500,000 to more than 1,000,000 parts, while aluminum tools are less durable, typically lasting for 10,000 to 100,000 parts. The complexity of the part being molded, the type of plastic used, and maintenance frequency also play pivotal roles in determining a tool's longevity. Regular maintenance and choosing the right tool material for the projected production volume can significantly extend the life of an injection molding tool.
