The lifespan of an automotive injection mold depends on the mold steel, part material, mold structure, production volume, and maintenance. In general, it can be divided into several levels:

Prototype Mold: Usually 1,000–10,000 shots, mainly used for product testing, design validation, and low-volume sample production.

Simple Production Mold: Usually 50,000–100,000 shots, suitable for small-batch production or early-stage market testing.

Medium-Volume Production Mold: Usually 300,000–500,000 shots, suitable for stable production of automotive plastic parts.

For mold projects, our standard payment term is 40% deposit by T/T in advance, 30% before sending the first trial samples, and 30% balance after the final samples are approved.

For mass production, the standard payment term is 50% deposit in advance and 50% balance before shipment.

Automotive Mold:

We control mold quality from DFM review, mold design, steel inspection, CNC/EDM machining, mold assembly, to mold trial. After the mold is completed, we will make trial samples for customer checking and approval. Only after the final samples are confirmed will they be used as the standard reference for production.

Mass Production:

At the beginning of mass production, we strictly inspect the products according to the approved standard samples. Each production shift has professional QC staff, and our QC team checks the production quality every 2 hours during mass production. Before shipment, we also arrange final spot checks to ensure the parts meet the required dimensions, appearance, and quality standards

 We believe long-term cooperation comes from stable quality, clear communication, on-time delivery, and honest support. For every project, we provide professional engineering feedback, regular progress updates, strict quality control, and reliable after-sales support.
Our goal is not only to complete one mold project, but to become a trusted manufacturing partner for your future product development and mass production needs.
