Built on One Principle:
A Mold You Can Actually Use

Family-run EPP and EPS mold workshop in Qingdao, China. My father built this over 10 years serving Chinese foam manufacturers. I am bringing that same precision — and a new level of documentation — to international buyers.

Where We Come From

In the foam tooling industry, most buyers get a mold and a packing list. My father spent a decade building molds for Chinese foam factories — automotive parts manufacturers, cold chain packaging producers, construction insulation plants.

What he learned: the quality of a mold shows up not just in how it looks when it arrives, but in how it performs six months into production. In Chinese factories, that knowledge stays in the engineer's head — and never reaches the customer.

When I started on international sales, I kept hearing the same thing from buyers in Vietnam, the US, Germany:

"We got a mold that looked fine. Six months later, we had no idea why it was producing rejects."

So we changed our standard. Every mold now ships with five technical documents — not because customers ask for them, but because a mold without documentation is only half a product.

Our Engineering Process

Fixed 6 steps on every order. No shortcuts.

01
Inquiry & Machine Verification
Before anything else we verify your machine. Platen dimensions, steam port layout, fill gun geometry — checked against our library of 30+ machine specs.
02
Free DFM Review (3–5 days)
15-point Design for Manufacturing check. Shrinkage factors, draft angles, fill gun positions, steam penetration simulation. You receive a written report.
03
Drawing Sign-Off
You review the mold design drawing with your machine interface dimensions annotated. Nothing is machined without your written approval.
04
CNC Machining
7075-T6 or 6061-T6 aluminum, high-speed CNC to ±0.05 mm. EDM for complex geometries. PTFE coating applied after final machining.
05
First Article Inspection
CMM measurement of all critical cavity dimensions. First-article foam parts measured and documented. Process parameters recorded.
06
Delivery + Documentation
Mold ships with all 5 documents + spare parts kit. Sea freight FOB Qingdao. Remote setup support included.
