Description
Mold making for an automotive interior cabinet
Interior cabinets such as this cup-holder module are deep, ribbed parts with openings on several sides. Molding them in 20% glass-filled PA66 gives the rigidity needed for clips and hinges, but it makes the mold more complex than most consumer parts. The tool for this project was built for an interior accessories molder to the HASCO standard.
Tooling details
- Single cavity in DIN 1.2344, hardened for wear resistance against glass fibre.
- YUDO hot runner to fill the deep part evenly, reduce runner waste and shorten the cycle.
- Lifters release internal undercuts such as clip hooks; slides form the side openings and holes.
- Cooling routed around the deep core to limit warpage of the walls.
Why automotive molds need extra care
Automotive parts must meet strict safety and fit requirements and run for long production periods. That calls for precise machining of every core, cavity, lifter and slide, done on high-speed CNC and EDM machines, and steel chosen for the expected volume: hardened steel for long runs, softer pre-hardened steel or aluminum only for low volumes and prototypes.
Before steel is cut, prototypes can be produced by 3D printing to check fit in the vehicle. After T1, the parts are measured on CMM against the automotive drawing and a first article report is issued.

How we work
How a project like this works
- Tell us what you need – the mold only, molded parts, or both, and your estimated annual volume.
- Send drawings – STEP, IGES, STL, DWG or PDF, or a sample. We sign off moldability in a DFM review.
- Quotation – tooling price, part price and a schedule, with steel, cavities and runner proposed.
- Mold design approval – you approve the 3D mold design before steel is cut.
- T1 samples + FAI report – production or mold shipment starts after your approval.
Shipping molds and parts
- Molds are cleaned, rust-protected, marked and checked against a shipment checklist: cooling circuits, sprue, locating ring, ejection and support pillars.
- Molds ship with drawings, a spare-parts list and the T1 process sheet.
- Parts are packed to your packing instruction and inspected before shipment.
- We ship to customers in Europe, the USA and Asia.
After-sales
Our after-sales team supports mold maintenance and modifications remotely and can supply spare inserts. Contact customerservice@precisemoulds.com.
FAQ
What are lifters and slides in an injection mold?
They are moving components that form undercuts. Lifters move at an angle during ejection to release internal features; slides move sideways, driven by angle pins or cylinders, to form side holes and external undercuts.
Why use a hot runner for this part?
A hot runner fills a deep part with less pressure loss, avoids a large cold runner that would be scrap, and shortens the cycle. For glass-filled PA66, a hot runner also gives more stable filling.
Which hot runner brands can you install?
We build with YUDO, Mold-Masters, Husky, HASCO, DME, INCOE and Synventive, or the brand specified by your standard.
