Automotive Injection Mold for Air Duct Housing
Two-cavity air duct housing mold tuned for leakage control, clean shutoff and stable clip force.
Buyer concern
The housing used thin walls, multiple clips and an airflow channel that was sensitive to flash and mismatch.
DFM decision
JFMOULD added copper inserts for hot spots, improved parting line shutoff and validated the airflow section during trial review.
Trial outcome
The molded housing met leakage and clip force targets while keeping the launch timing on schedule.

718H + beryllium copper inserts
8 weeks
From DFM to T1
Manufacturing Process
- DFM review of airflow channels, clips, and parting-line shutoffs
- Tool machining and localized cooling-insert preparation
- Mold fitting, T1 sampling, and engineering correction review
Inspection Plan
Quality Control
- Parting-line flash and airflow-path consistency inspection
- Leakage and clip-force validation on trial parts
Program Notes and RFQ Context
The mold had to protect functional airflow geometry while still being practical for ongoing automotive production maintenance.

Automotive Instrument Panel Bracket Mold
Interior bracket mold for a German automotive supplier with cosmetic surface control and insert-fit stability.
- Challenge
- The part combined deep ribs, cosmetic grain and metal insert clearance, which created a high risk of sink marks and trim distortion.
- Result
- The first sampling round achieved stable assembly dimensions, reduced sink visibility and met the customer's PPAP timing target.
Automotive Component Cover Mold
Automotive component cover mold built for low warp, latch-fit stability and validation support.
- Challenge
- A functional cover with latch features required stiffness, low warp and stable shutoff around mounting points.
- Result
- The customer moved from first sampling into validation review with fewer open flatness and latch-fit items.
Automotive Door Trim Panel Mold
Automotive interior trim panel mold built for visible surface quality, stable fit and pilot launch review.
- Challenge
- The interior trim panel needed clean visible surfaces, controlled clip areas and stable fit around a broad curved geometry.
- Result
- The trim panel moved into pilot review with visible surface and fit issues reduced before customer validation.
