Injection Moulds For Electronics And Audiovisual
Television front shells, enclosures and electronic housings in PC and PC ABS
What Makes Electronics And Audiovisual Parts Difficult
A television bezel is a large thin wall part where the smallest sink mark reads as a defect across the whole front face
Cold runner gating on a wide part leaves a long flow path and an uneven pack, which shows up as a bow in the frame
Electronic housings often need six or more slides for connector and vent openings, and each one is a potential flash line
What Buyers In This Sector Need
- Hot runner or valve gate feeding when the part is too wide to fill evenly from one cold gate
- Cavity steel that stays stable at PC processing temperature
- Slide design that can be serviced in the press rather than needing the tool pulled every time

How A Project Runs
Design review
Part geometry, wall sections, draft and gate position are reviewed against the moulding material before any steel is cut.
Steel inspection
Cavity and core blocks are checked on arrival so that the hardness and grade match what the mould was quoted with.
In-process measurement
Machined inserts, slides and plates are measured between operations rather than only at the end of the tool room route.
Fitting and spotting
Parting line, slide movement and ejection are fitted by hand before the mould goes to the press.

Electronics And Audiovisual Questions
What buyers in this sector ask before placing tooling work.
When is a hot runner worth the extra tool cost?
When the runner weight is a large share of the shot, when the flow path is too long to pack evenly, or when the gate has to sit in the middle of a cosmetic face. The archived hot runner mould runs a valve gate in PC ABS on a single cavity for exactly that reason.
How do you avoid sink marks on a large front shell?
Mostly by fixing the part rather than the tool: ribs are coredout to about half the wall, bosses are relieved, and the gate is put where the thick section is. What is left is handled by pack pressure and cooling layout, which is settled at the design review stage.
