Mold Validation Process
Every mold goes through a structured qualification process before delivery:
- Dimensional inspection — CMM verification of all critical cavity and core dimensions against the mold drawing
- T1 trial — First shots pulled in-house using the production-grade resin
- Part inspection — First article dimensional report against the part drawing
- FAI report — Full First Article Inspection report provided to customer
- Customer approval — Sign-off on T1 samples before production commences
- PPAP — Production Part Approval Process documentation available on request (Tier 1 automotive clients)
Tooling Warranty
All JBRplas molds are warranted against manufacturing defects for the full guaranteed shot life. If a mold fails to meet the agreed shot count due to workmanship issues, we repair or replace the affected components at no charge.
| Mold Category | Minimum Guaranteed Shot Life |
|---|---|
| P20 standard production | 300,000 shots |
| H13 / S136 precision | 1,000,000 shots |
| Prototype / bridge tooling | 50,000 shots |
Mold Storage & Maintenance
After production, JBRplas stores customer molds in temperature- and humidity-controlled storage at no charge for the duration of the production program. Preventive mold maintenance is performed after every 50,000 shots as standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your typical T1 lead time? Standard single-cavity molds: 18–22 business days from design approval. Multi-cavity or hot runner molds: 25–35 business days. We provide a specific committed date at the time of order.
Can you match an existing mold from another supplier? Yes. We can reverse-engineer from a reference part or existing mold drawings. A dimensional scan of the reference part is recommended to establish a baseline.
Do you export molds to customers? Yes. We regularly export molds to the US, Europe, and Australia. Molds are exported in wood crates with full rust-prevention coating. All export documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, HS code) is included.
