Rotational Cast Aluminum Tooling or Molds

Tooling made from aluminum castings are by far the most common type of rotational molds. They are relatively inexpensive and can be cast, machined, and framed quickly. High quaility castings with low pourousity will produce a wide range of parts with fairly intricate detail, elaborate shapes and patterned finishes. Aluminum tools are well suited to produce air or water tight plastic parts  as well.

Aluminum molds are lightweight, and transfer and dissipate heat well making them ideal for repeated cycles through rotational molding ovens.  Cast tools can be modified after they have been put into production to accommodate slight changes to the parts design.

When your part goes into production, there is no substitute for using a quality mold. A poorly designed or built tool will inevitably lead to slower production runs and mold failure ad lost production time. Yixing Technologies will guide you through the process to ensure you select the right tool for your application.
