A Closer Look at Our Manufacturing Zones
First Mold’s factory is divided into different sections, including injection molding, mold making and prototype manufacturing. Next, we’ll take a look at the key work areas.
Tooling Shop
Molds Annually
CNC & EDM Machines
Staff
The tooling shop is divided into two parts. First, the mold machining workshop produces the core components — cavities, cores, inserts, and slides. Then, in the mold fabrication shop, we handle fitting and assembly. What you get in the end is a perfect rapid tooling or production tooling.
High-Speed CNCs
Mikron (CH) & Haas (US) for extreme precision; 20+ Taida/Baofeng mills for rapid roughing and capacity.
EDM & Wire-Cut
Makino EDGE3i for optical mirror finishes; Mirrordick double-head EDMs and SSG wire-cutters.
Specialized Support
Accurate Gun Drill for complex cooling channels; AQUAmate 120T die spotting press.
Automated Injection Molding Workshop
90-1000T
Press Range
Injection Machines
Monthly Parts
The injection molding shop is where we use molds to produce custom plastic parts. Different molding processes use different types of machines. And what you get are plastic parts, whether in small batches or high volume.
High-Precision All-Electric
JSW 130T/180T presses for hyper-stable, cleanroom-ready precision molding.
Double-Shot (2K) Molding
FCS and Haitian multi-component presses for complex overmolding.
Volume Scalability
A massive fleet of Haitian presses scaling from 100T to a massive 1000T.
High-Speed Prototyping Workshop
Precision Tolerance
Surface Finish(RA)
Prototypes
The high-speed prototyping workshop is where we machine your designs directly into real parts using CNC — no molds needed. What you get are fast, precise prototypes, whether you need just one piece or a small batch.
The Haas Fleet
21 original HAAS centers, spearheaded by four UMC-750 5-Axis machines and 17 Super-Speed (VF-4SS / VF-2SS) vertical mills.
Heavy-Duty & Large Format
Supported by Akira-Seiki (V5XP) and Baofeng machines, providing expanded machining strokes up to 1300mm.
Precision Standard
Feeler VMP-23A centers ensuring high-rigidity cutting for tough metals.
Metrology & Quality Assurance Lab
First Mold has separate inspection areas for its injection molded parts and rapid prototypes, equipped with equipment such as Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), 2D Optical Comparators, and Material Spectrometers.
Injection Molded Parts Quality Inspection
Rapid Prototype Quality Inspection
Continuous Equipment Upgrades
First Mold updates the CNC, injection molding, EDM, die-casting machines, and other equipment in different workshops every year. This is not only due to our growing business but also because we continually strive to raise our own standards.
