Foreign new mold production process came out
Fast4m Tooling LLC, a specialist in prototype molds, is revolutionizing the blow mold manufacturing process by offering a more efficient and cost-effective solution for mold makers. Based in Troy, the company is focused on reducing both time and expenses involved in traditional mold production.
According to Rob Esling, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Fast4m, their innovative method starts with stacking steel or aluminum sheets instead of cutting from a solid block. This approach eliminates up to 80% of the typical machining work, significantly streamlining the process. By using computer-aided design data and high-speed lasers, they cut each sheet into a near-final shape. Each sheet is slightly different, and when assembled, they form a rough mold structure. Some complex molds may consist of as many as 400 individual metal sheets.
Once the basic structure is in place, moldmakers can refine the shape and surface using conventional techniques. Additionally, this method allows for the insertion of watermarks between the layers, adding another layer of customization. The company estimates that moldmakers can save anywhere from 10 to 15 percent in production costs, making it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to optimize their operations.
Esling emphasized that Fast4m doesn’t aim to compete with mold makers but rather to provide them with advanced technology that enhances their capabilities. So far, the company has successfully produced molds for injection molding, stamping, and sheet metal forming. They are currently developing prototypes for blow molding and are actively seeking partners to help bring this new technology to market. With its focus on innovation and collaboration, Fast4m is positioning itself as a key player in the evolving world of mold manufacturing.
