Many Parts, Tight Fit, Fast Changes
In medical molding projects, buyers may release many injection-molded parts at the same time. They often need a consistent fit and appearance across multiple tools, clear ownership, and fast updates after trials.
How do you keep fit, stable, and surfaces clean when the mold is compact, and trial feedback comes fast?
In this example, the client is in the U.S. medical sector and ordered many components at once. Even a single compact mold still had to match program-level standards for accuracy, fit, and output stability. The mold size was 170 × 100 × 100 mm, with a durability goal of 500k+ shots, which raises requirements for steel choice, heat-treatment control, and wear management.

One Controlled Chain, Fewer Handoffs
The hard part in compact precision molds is not the size. It controls variation during handoffs and updates. When trial changes are frequent, every extra transfer can add drift to fit, wear, and surface finish.
Mastars supported this tooling with a one-stop flow: design review, mold build, trial runs, and sampling. Key steps stayed in-house to keep response fast: DFM, CNC machining, EDM, and polishing. For molding surfaces, corrosion-resistant mold steel and controlled heat treatment were used to reach HRC 52–54. This supports wear resistance and repeatable output toward a 500k+ shot target. Polishing was managed to meet cosmetic needs while protecting critical edges and fits. The result is a compact mold that still meets demanding precision and durability targets.

Client Outcomes You Can Track
Compact tooling can still meet high standards when the process is controlled in one-stop.
✅ One-stop tooling flow: review, build, trial, and sampling
✅ Key steps in-house: DFM, CNC, EDM, polishing
✅ Durability support: 500k+ shots target with HRC 52–54 surfaces
✅ More stable output: controlled fits, wear, and surface finish
✅ Faster iteration: shorter loop from trial feedback to updates

Where Else This Method Works
If you are in other industries, like the ones down below, the same compact, precision tooling method can help keep fit, wear, and surface finish stable.
- Automotive — sensor housings, connector covers, small valve components
- Aerospace & UAV — lightweight brackets, small housings, functional inserts
- Telecom & 5G hardware — micro enclosures, antenna-related covers, connector shells
- Laboratory & diagnostic devices — cartridge parts, caps, small interfaces
- Smart home & consumer electronics — button frames, small shells, hinge covers
