Two Shot Ribbed Panel
Curved panel combining a rigid frame with a ribbed contrast surface in one tool.
Two Shot Ribbed Panel
Two Shot Ribbed Panel is one of the parts molded on tooling built at our Dongguan shop. Curved panel combining a rigid frame with a ribbed contrast surface in one tool.
Before any steel is roughed we run the filling, packing, warpage and cooling study, so the cooling layout on this tool comes out of the analysis rather than out of habit.
Final mold inspection and packing inspection are the last two steps before shipment, because a tool that passes trial can still arrive damaged.
Key Benefits
- Built for more than 1 million shots, so the tool outlives the first production year
- One shop from design through trial, with no tool transfer between vendors
- Engineering correspondence in English throughout the project
- Full 3D design issued in your own CAD format
Problems It Solves
- Cavity finishes agreed after the steel was cut instead of before
- Molds that arrive with no design record and no one able to explain the cooling layout
- Weld lines landing on a visible face because gating was chosen for fill alone
Who It Is For
- Handheld instrument and terminal manufacturers
- Power tool and equipment brands
- Consumer electronics enclosure suppliers
- Any OEM replacing an assembled soft grip with an over-mold
Application Scenarios
- Handheld terminal and scanner housings
- Soft-grip tool handles
- Contrast keypads and control fascias
- Rigid-plus-elastomer sealing components
How the Tool Behind Two Shot Ribbed Panel Is Built
- Design
Full 3D mold design completed to one hundred percent and checked in a design review meeting.
- DFM and MoldFlow
A written DFM for your comment, and filling, packing, warpage and cooling analysis on mass production tools.
- Machining
CNC and EDM work with steel inspected dimensionally after machining and electrodes inspected before burning.
- Trial and inspection
Mold trial with trial report and sample dimension report, then final mold and packing inspection.

Customization
Mold standard, cavity count, gating strategy, surface finish and mold base supplier are all specified per project. Tell us what your own standard requires and it is folded into the DFM rather than handled as a change later.
Compared With a Prototype Tool
A production mold for Two Shot Ribbed Panel is built to run for more than 1 million shots and is documented with a trial report and a sample dimension report. A rapid prototype mold answers a different question — is the design right — at a lower price and a faster lead time, and is not built for that life. If the design is still moving, the prototype stage is usually the cheaper route into the production tool.
Rapid Prototype MoldsUse Guide
- Send 3D part data in STEP, IGES, Parasolid, CATIA, SolidWorks
- State the resin or alloy, the annual volume and the mold standard
- Comment on the DFM before fabrication — that is the cheapest point to change anything
- Review the trial report and sample dimension report against your own drawing before release
- Keep the mold standard on file so spares stay available locally

How are molds packed for export?
Final mold inspection is followed by a packing inspection before the tool leaves. Ninety percent of our molds go to overseas markets, so export packing is the normal case here rather than the exception.
Who do we talk to during the project?
Our engineering team has been trained on customer mold standards and corresponds in English. Response to customers is no later than 24 hours.
What tool life should we expect on a mold for Two Shot Ribbed Panel?
Our high quality injection molds are built for more than 1 million shots. The exact figure for your tool depends on the resin, the cycle and the part geometry, and we put it in the quotation rather than leaving it open.
Are you certified?
Yes — ISO 9001:2015, with the scope recorded on the certificate as: Design, Manufacture and Service of Injection Molded Moulds; Manufacture and Service of Plastic Injection Molded Parts. The certificate is shown on our quality page.
