What is Home Appliance Molds and when should I choose it?

Home appliance molds produce large and mid-sized plastic housings, panels, and functional parts for household products. Choose them for parts that need durability, good appearance, and efficient large-volume production.

What materials can be used for Home Appliance Molds?

A range of materials is available, including P20 / 718 Pre-Hardened Steel, H13 Hardened Steel, S136 Stainless Mold Steel, NAK80 Mold Steel, Aluminum Tooling. The best choice depends on strength, appearance, operating environment, and budget. Our engineers can help you select the right one during the quote review.

What tolerances can Home Appliance Molds achieve?

Achievable tolerances depend on material, part size, and geometry. Typical values are listed on this page, and tighter tolerances can often be held on critical features. Share your drawing and we will confirm during the DFM review.

Can you support both prototype and production Home Appliance Molds?

Yes. We support everything from a single prototype to ongoing production programs, so you can scale without changing supplier.

How much does Home Appliance Molds cost?

Cost depends on material, part size and complexity, quantity, tolerances, and finishing. Upload your CAD model and drawing to receive a quote, and our engineers can suggest design changes that reduce cost.

H13 Hardened Steel

S136 Stainless Mold Steel

NAK80 Mold Steel

Aluminum Tooling

P20 / 718 Pre-Hardened Steel

Pre-hardened tool steel is a common choice for medium-volume molds because it machines well and needs no further hardening.

Key Characteristics

Good machinability

No heat treatment needed after machining

Good polishability for general parts

Common Grades: P20, 718, 718H

Typical Applications: Medium-volume molds for general plastics

Available Finishes: Texturing, polishing

H13 Hardened Steel

H13 is a hot-work tool steel offering high hardness and thermal fatigue resistance for long-life production molds.

Key Characteristics

High hardness and wear resistance

Good thermal fatigue resistance

Suitable for high-volume molds

Common Grades: H13, 1.2344

Typical Applications: High-volume molds, glass-filled materials

Available Finishes: Polishing, nitriding

S136 Stainless Mold Steel

S136 is a corrosion-resistant stainless mold steel with excellent polish, used for optical and medical parts.

Key Characteristics

Excellent polishability

Good corrosion resistance

Suitable for clear and PVC parts

Common Grades: S136, 420 stainless

Typical Applications: Optical, medical, and corrosive-resin molds

Available Finishes: Mirror polishing

NAK80 Mold Steel

NAK80 is a pre-hardened steel with fine, uniform structure that polishes well and holds texture detail.

Key Characteristics

Fine uniform structure

Very good mirror finish

Good for photo-etched texture

Common Grades: NAK80

Typical Applications: High-gloss and textured cosmetic parts

Available Finishes: Mirror polishing, texturing

Aluminum Tooling

Aluminum molds are machined quickly and cost less, making them suitable for prototype tooling and low-volume runs.

Key Characteristics

Fast machining and short lead time

Lower tooling cost

Good heat transfer

Common Grades: 7075, 6061

Typical Applications: Prototype tools, bridge tooling, low-volume production

Available Finishes: Machined or lightly polished

Surface Finishing Options

Enhance appearance, corrosion resistance, and durability with finishing options matched to your material and application.

Finishing Option	Typical Effect	Suitable Materials	Typical Use
Machined Finish	Standard machined cavity surface.	All mold steels	Hidden or functional surfaces
Polishing	Smooth to mirror finish according to SPI grade.	S136, NAK80, H13	Clear and high-gloss parts
Texturing (Etching)	Grained or patterned surface on molded parts.	P20, NAK80, H13	Automotive trim, housings, handles
Nitriding / Coating	Increased surface hardness and wear resistance.	H13, P20	Glass-filled materials, long runs

Home Appliance Molds Tolerances & Lead Times
