Whether producing components for medical devices, industrial equipment, aerospace assemblies, consumer products, or custom-engineered applications, businesses need parts that meet strict dimensional requirements every single time. At the center of this performance is the quality of the mold itself — the tool that determines accuracy, repeatability, and consistency across thousands or even millions of parts.

At Texlon Plastics, precision mold making is not just one of the services offered — it is the foundation of the company’s reputation for superior injection molding performance. With decades of hands-on experience, state-of-the-art technology, and a commitment to quality at every stage of production, Texlon Plastics delivers molds and molded parts that meet the highest standards of accuracy, durability, and efficiency.

What Sets Texlon Plastics Apart in Precision Mold Making

Precision mold making requires a unique combination of engineering insight, technical skill, and advanced equipment. Texlon Plastics brings all three together, ensuring every mold they produce supports long-term, cost-effective, high-quality part manufacturing.

1. Engineering Expertise that Ensures Quality from the Start

Every successful molding project begins long before a mold is cut. Texlon Plastics’ engineering team collaborates closely with customers to analyze part geometry, identify critical tolerances, and optimize design for manufacturability.

This includes:

• Reviewing product drawings and 3D models
• Identifying potential risk areas such as thin walls or sharp transitions
• Recommending design improvements to enhance part strength, mold flow, and cycle time
• Using advanced CAD/CAE software to simulate mold behavior

This proactive engineering ensures the mold will perform as expected from the first run through its entire service life.

2. Advanced Mold Design Using Leading CAD/CAE Technologies

Precision begins with digital accuracy. Texlon Plastics uses advanced design software to create highly detailed, precise mold layouts that consider every factor affecting performance.

Their mold designs address:

• Parting line placement
• Gating and runner systems
• Ejector mechanisms
• Cooling channel optimization
• Proper venting for complex geometries

By combining decades of design experience with modern simulation tools, Texlon Plastics ensures each mold meets exact production requirements while reducing cycle times and minimizing downstream maintenance.

3. High-Performance Materials for Long-Lasting Molds

Texlon Plastics selects mold materials based on production volume, resin type, thermal demands, and durability requirements. Their tooling is often built using:

• Hardened tool steels such as H13, S7, or D2
• Pre-hardened steels like P20 for medium-volume production
• High-strength aluminum when faster turnaround or prototyping is required

Choosing the correct tooling material helps customers reduce long-term costs, improve part consistency, and minimize downtime caused by mold wear.

4. Precision Machining and EDM Capabilities

The heart of Texlon Plastics’ mold-making process lies in its machining capabilities. Their tooling department operates advanced CNC milling machines, turning centers, and EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) systems that can create extremely tight tolerances, sharp internal features, and complex contours.

EDM allows Texlon Plastics to produce:

• Intricate cavity shapes
• Deep pockets and undercuts
• Sharp corners and micro-details not possible with standard machining

This capability is crucial for industries requiring miniature or highly complex components, such as medical and electronics manufacturing.

5. Surface Finishing and Mold Polishing for Superior Part Quality

A mold’s surface finish directly affects the final part’s appearance and function. Texlon Plastics delivers exceptional finishing quality, from high-gloss optical surfaces to textured patterns and matte finishes.

Skilled technicians perform:

• Hand polishing
• Laser texturing
• EDM surface refinement
• Coating and plating when specialized performance is needed

This attention to detail enables Texlon Plastics to meet even the most demanding cosmetic and dimensional requirements.

6. Mold Testing, Validation, and T1 Samples

Before a mold is approved for full production, it undergoes rigorous testing. Texlon Plastics performs full mold trials to ensure:

• Proper filling and packing
• Dimensional accuracy
• Material flow efficiency
• Cycle time optimization
• Ejector performance and cooling balance

Customers receive T1 samples for review, and the team makes any necessary adjustments to fine-tune performance. The result is a tooling solution that performs flawlessly in real-world production conditions.

Why Precision Mold Making Matters
