Two Shot Keypad Housing
Keypad housing with contrast key fields molded into the front shell.
Two Shot Keypad Housing
Two Shot Keypad Housing is one of the parts molded on tooling built at our Dongguan shop. Keypad housing with contrast key fields molded into the front shell.
Final mold inspection and packing inspection are the last two steps before shipment, because a tool that passes trial can still arrive damaged.
3D data for this tool is issued in whichever format your own toolroom opens without translation: STEP, IGES, Parasolid, CATIA, SolidWorks.
Key Benefits
- Built for more than 1 million shots, so the tool outlives the first production year
- Design review meeting before the design reaches you
- Full 3D design issued in your own CAD format
- Quotation returned within 2 working days
Problems It Solves
- Side actions that collide on the first close because the sequence was never simulated
- Long silences between the purchase order and the first sign of progress
- Molds that arrive with no design record and no one able to explain the cooling layout
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 Keypad Housing 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 Keypad Housing 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

Can you work to our own mold standard for Two Shot Keypad Housing?
Yes. Mold design follows your own standard where you have one, and otherwise a global standard such as DME / Meusburger / HASCO / Progressive / MISUMI. Naming the standard in the enquiry avoids re-specifying components later in the design.
Which 3D formats can you issue for Two Shot Keypad Housing?
We issue mold design data in STEP, IGES, Parasolid, CATIA, SolidWorks. Tell us which one your toolroom opens natively and we will work in that.
Is a prototype tool worth it before the production mold?
It is when the design is not yet frozen. Rapid prototype mold making is one of our listed services, priced low and built for a fast lead time, and what the trial shows feeds the DFM for the production tool.
What will we receive when the mold for Two Shot Keypad Housing is tried?
Mold trial reports together with a sample dimension report (FAI). Those documents are what any later dimensional discussion is settled against.
