This mold is identical to the type 101 with the following items not required:
1.guided ejection hardened slide wear plates plated water channels and wear plated cavities.
2.All other extras are optional. This tool is a medium to high production tool that is good for abrasive materials and / or close

(Rated for one million or more cycles) Mold design required.
TPE/TPU/Rubber/Silicone are soft/elastic plastics
Soft materials allow some certain undercuts.
TPE/TPU are often used for soft touching and bendable structures.
PP is half-soft plastic in some sense. In packaging industry, PP is widely used to make live hinges in the caps.
This section contains a brief synopsis of the various mold classifications. The following section contains detailed descriptions of each mold class. It is our recommendation that this “mold information” sheet be included with each request for quotation.
TYPE 1O1 MOLD
Cycles: One million or more
Description: Built for extremely high production. This is the highest price mold and is made with only the highest quality materials.
TYPE 102 MOLD
Cycles: Not exceeding one million
Description: Medium to high production mold, good for abrasive materials and/or parts requiring tolerances. This is a high quality, fairly high priced mold.
TYPE 103 MOLD
Cycles: Under 500,000
Description: Medium production mold. This is a very popular mold for low to medium production needs. Most common price range.
TYPE 104 MOLD
Cycles: Under 100,000
Description: Low production mold. Used only for limited production preferably with non-abrasive materials. Low to moderate price range.
TYPE 105 MOLD
Cycles: Not exceeding 500
Description: Prototype only. This mold will be constructed in the least expensive manner possible to produce a very limited quantity of product.
TYPE I UNIT INSERT
Cycles: Approximately 500,000
Description: Top quality materials for medium to high production requirements.
TYPE II UNIT INSERT
Cycles: Under 100,000
Description: Similar to Class III Mold. Most commonly used insert. Low to medium production.
TYPE III UNIT INSERT
Cycles: Less than 500
Description: Similar to Class V Mold. Least expensive insert for very limited quantities. Insert built with the least expensive materials

Tooling Delivery time depends on :
It is our responsibility to suggest suitable materials, design good tooling so we can produce in less time with smaller injection machines
PP,PETG,ABS of some models, Nylon of some models,Silicon etc.
Moldflow analysis is a necessary procedure in mold design ,before mold making.
