1. Compare the scope line by line
Check cavity count, mold base size, hot runner or cold runner, sliders, lifters, inserts, spare parts, mold standard and expected life. Two prices cannot be compared fairly when one excludes engineering changes or trial corrections.
2. Match mold steel to the production plan
Ask which steel is planned for core, cavity and wear inserts, whether it will be pre-hardened or hardened, and how the choice matches the resin and annual volume. Glass-filled materials, abrasive additives and high output can require a more durable tooling plan.
3. Check the engineering included before tooling
A production-ready quote should account for DFM, parting line, gate, cooling, venting, draft, ejection and tolerance risks. For cosmetic housings, confirm that A-surfaces, texture, color and assembly gaps will be reviewed before mold design approval.
4. Confirm T1, T2 and inspection deliverables
Ask how many trial rounds are included, what sample quantity will be supplied, which dimensions will be measured and how corrections will be documented. First article inspection, appearance approval, assembly checks and a clear production handover reduce surprises after shipment.
5. Ask Huanze to compare your RFQ package
Huanze Technology can review the product structure, tooling scope and production requirements for plastic housings, connector parts, drone shells, medical device housings and other molded plastic parts. Contact Annie by WhatsApp, WeChat or phone at +86 15801883001, or email annie@huanzekeji.com.
