Q1: What is your typical lead time for a new mold for small automotive components?

• Answer: For small-scale components like fog light housings, the typical tooling lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from design approval to T1 samples. We offer rapid prototyping to accelerate your market entry.

Q2: Which plastic materials do you specialize in for automotive applications?

• Answer: We have extensive experience with engineering plastics, including PC, PMMA, PBT+GF, ABS, and PP. We specialize in high-heat resistant and optical-grade materials, ensuring your components meet rigorous automotive standards.

Q3: How do you ensure the precision and quality of the molds?

• Answer: We perform DFM (Design for Manufacturing) analysis before mold fabrication to identify potential issues like sink marks or air traps. Our facility uses high-precision CNC and EDM machines, and we provide a full Dimensional Inspection Report with every sample.

Q4: Do you offer mold maintenance and what is the mold life guarantee?

• Answer: Yes, we provide in-house mold maintenance at no extra cost to the client. Depending on the steel grade used (e.g., NAK80, S136), we guarantee a mold life of 300,000 to 1,000,000 shots under normal operating conditions.

Q5: Can you handle multi-cavity molds for high-volume production?

• Answer: Absolutely. To optimize production costs for small parts like fog light brackets or internal structures, we design and build multi-cavity molds that ensure high output without compromising on part consistency.

Q6: How do you manage engineering changes (ECR/ECN)?

• Answer: We have a clear Engineering Change Notice (ECN) process. Should your design need adjustment after the mold is built, our in-house tooling team can evaluate and modify the mold quickly to minimize downtime. 

Q1: What steel grades do you use for automotive lamp tooling?

• Answer: We select high-quality tool steels based on your production volume and material requirements. For optical parts (Lenses), we typically use S136 (mirror-polished). For structural housings, we use NAK80, H13, or P20, ensuring durability and surface finish excellence.

Q2: Do you provide Mold Flow Analysis (MFA) before fabrication?

• Answer: Yes. We provide Mold Flow Analysis to identify potential issues such as sink marks, air traps, and weld lines. This allows us to optimize gate locations and cooling channels before cutting steel, saving you time and cost.

Q3: What is your process for Tooling Trials (T0, T1, T2)?

• Answer: After mold completion, we conduct T1 trials and send samples along with a Full Dimensional Inspection Report (FAI) for your approval. We continue to refine the tool until it meets your exact specifications (T2/T3) and ensure the process is stable for mass production.

Q4: How do you handle mold modifications if our design changes?

• Answer: Our in-house engineering team can quickly implement Engineering Change Notices (ECN). Since we manage the tooling process closely, we can evaluate the feasibility and modify the mold with minimal impact on the overall timeline.

Q5: How do you protect our intellectual property (IP) and mold designs?

• Answer: We take IP protection very seriously. All client drawings and 3D data are stored on a secure server with restricted access. We are happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect your proprietary designs.

Q6: Can you provide "Tooling-Only" services if we want to ship the mold to another country?

• Answer: Yes, we offer export tooling services. We build the mold to international standards (DME/HASCO), perform trials in our facility to ensure quality, and then package it for international sea or air freight to your location.

Q7: Can you handle the tooling for complex fog light lens geometry?

• Answer:  Yes, our automotive lighting tooling process includes flow analysis to prevent sink marks and ensure high transparency.

Q1: How do you ensure the IP67 waterproof rating for small fog lights?

• Answer: We use high-precision ultrasonic welding technology combined with optimized energy director design in our tooling to ensure a 100% hermetic seal for the housing and lens.

Q2: Does ultrasonic welding affect the clarity of the fog light lens?

• Answer: No. By precisely controlling the welding amplitude and using custom-made non-marring fixtures, we prevent surface scratches and maintain optical clarity.

Q3: What materials are best for your ultrasonic welding process?

• Answer: We have extensive experience welding PC to PC or PC to ABS for automotive applications, ensuring maximum bond strength and durability.

Q1: Do you have space to store our products for scheduled releases?

• Answer:  Yes, we have an 850 sqm on-site warehouse that allows us to manage your inventory and support scheduled delivery or JIT (Just-In-Time) requirements.

Q2: How do you handle domestic transportation in Taiwan?

• Answer:  We have our own truck fleet, ensuring fast and secure transport from our factory to the international port (Keelung/Taichung/Kaohsiung) or to your designated partners.

Q3: Can you provide customized packaging and labeling before shipping?

• Answer:  Certainly. Our warehousing & logistics team can handle private labeling, barcoding, and export-standard palletizing to ensure your goods are retail-ready.
