For customers outside our facility, we also accept molds from other manufacturers, accompanied by a report or instructions describing the problem.
Fare un passo 2: Inspection and Root Cause Analysis
Once received, our toolmakers carefully open and disassemble the mold to evaluate all functional components—such as cores, cavità, Slide, Pin di espulsione, and cooling lines.
We analyze the root cause of the issue, which may include:
Metal fatigue or wear from prolonged use
Corrosion in cooling channels
Misalignment due to improper clamping
Cracks or parting line damage

Fare un passo 3: Proposal and Cost Estimate
After our analysis, we prepare a detailed proposal that outlines:
Recommended repair procedures
Replacement components (se necessario)
Estimated cost and lead time
Optional performance improvements
This proposal is shared with the customer for review. We always ensure full transparency before any work begins.
Fare un passo 4: Customer Approval and Repair Execution

Cleaning and polishing to restore mold finish
All repairs are performed with precision to OEM standards or better, ensuring that the mold returns to production-ready condition.
Fare un passo 5: Quality Verification and Testing
Before returning the mold to the customer, we perform test runs and dimensional inspections to verify performance.
Our goal is to ensure the mold produces parts with consistent dimensions, Qualità della superficie, and cycle times equivalent to or better than its original condition.
