We offer custom plastic mold development for outdoor power station enclosures. We can build new molds according to your 3D drawings or samples. Available processing: injection molding, CNC drilling, slotting, punching, port cut-outs, silk-screen printing & laser marking. Support mold modification and secondary mold adjustment for structure upgrade.
Main material options: ABS, ABS+PC blend, PC, PP. Materials feature anti-impact, weather-resistant, anti-aging performance for outdoor scenarios. Complex processing includes multi-directional buckle structure, deep-rib reinforcement, precise port cutouts. Main production challenges: consistent wall thickness, avoiding shrinkage marks, precise fit for upper-lower housing, stable assembly tolerance for outdoor power shell. Strict inspection for appearance and dimension.
We own independent mold workshop & injection molding workshop. Complete in-house service: mold design & making, mold testing, mass injection production. No outsourcing, better quality control & shorter lead time. We handle mold maintenance by ourselves. Support prototype trial, small-batch order and mass bulk production. Provide one-stop solution from mold building to finished plastic power station housings.
| Outdoor Power Station Plastic Enclosure Mold — Material, Processing & Maintenance | ||
| Item | Details | Tip / Note |
| I. Mold Steel Selection | ||
| Mold steel | Common options: P20 / 718 / 738 / NAK80 / S136 | P20 and 718 are great for mass production; S136 and NAK80 suit high-gloss, corrosion-resistant housings. |
| Mold base | Standard mold bases (e.g. LKM, Futaba) | Easy to get, shorter lead time, very stable structure. |
| Hardness | Heat-treated to about HRC 45–52 depending on the steel | Keeps the mold wear-resistant and long-lasting. |
| How we pick | We choose the steel based on your output volume, precision needs, and the housing material (fiberglass-filled or flame-retardant) | Fiberglass-filled materials need more wear-resistant steel. |
| II. Mold Processing | ||
| Process flow | Design → stock prep → CNC roughing → heat treatment → CNC finishing → EDM → wire cutting → polishing → assembly → trial molding | Full in-house process, so we control quality at every step. |
| Equipment | CNC machining center, EDM, wire cutting, grinder, milling machine | In-house equipment gives us better precision and stability. |
| Key structures | Parting line accuracy, sliders / lifters / core-pulls, cooling channel design | These directly decide molding quality and production speed. |
| III. Mold Maintenance | ||
| Daily care | Clean, rust-proof, and lubricate guide pins/bushings after each run | Prevents corrosion and keeps parts moving smoothly. |
| Regular upkeep | Check parting line wear, replace wear parts (ejector pins, springs, inserts) | Keeps the mold precise and the products consistent. |
| Storage | Rust-prevent oil, moisture-proof, labeled storage | Helps the mold last much longer. |
| Modification | We adjust based on trial/production issues and support re-modification | More flexible for you, better end result. |
