I. Project Background



With the booming development of the electric vehicle industry, an increasing number of enterprises have begun to invest in this green and efficient mode of transportation. A well-known Slovenian road clearance service company, in response to environmental protection calls and to enhance service quality, decided to independently research, develop, and produce electric vehicles for road obstacle removal. However, the core component of electric vehicles—the lithium battery cell holder, posed a significant challenge for them. After conducting thorough investigations, the client ultimately chose to collaborate with our company, hoping that we could customize the mold for the lithium battery cell holder and conduct mass production.




II. Project Challenges



This project faced several major challenges: Firstly, due to the immense demand from the client, the mold needed to possess high stability and long service life. Secondly, the assembly requirements between the cell holders were extremely strict, requiring excellent fitting effect in the buckle area, as any slight deviation could lead to failed assembly. Lastly, given the large size of the product, it was crucial to ensure no deformation occurred during the injection molding process.





III. Our Solutions



Injection Mold Design


After receiving the client's drawings, our engineering team first conducted a detailed DFM (Design for Manufacturing) report analysis. By examining factors such as gate location, draft angles, and wall thickness, we successfully predicted and avoided potential shrinkage risks in the product. Based on the DFM report's analysis results, we tailored a mold design solution for the client. We paid particular attention to the fitting and stability of the buckle area, optimizing the mold structure and parameters to ensure the product perfectly met the client's assembly requirements.



Upon receiving the client's confirmation, we promptly began designing the mold drawings.






Mold Manufacturing


1. High-quality Material Selection: We chose high-grade S136 steel as the mold material, which possesses excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance, meeting the demands of long-term and high-intensity production.


2. Precision Processing Technology: We are equipped with world-leading precision manufacturing equipment, such as high-precision CNC machines and mirror EDM machines. These devices ensure that the mold's processing precision and surface quality reach world-class levels.


3. Experienced Team: We have a team of fitters with over 10 years of experience, who possess rich mold manufacturing and assembly experience. During the mold assembly and testing process, they can precisely adjust the mold's precision and stability, ensuring it perfectly meets the client's production needs.







Plastic Injection Molding



1. Mold Testing and Sample Inspection: After the mold's completion, we conducted rigorous mold testing and sample inspection. We carefully examined the fitting adaptability of the product's buckle, ensuring it meets the client's assembly requirements. Additionally, we sent sample pictures and videos to the client, keeping them updated on the production progress.



2. Preparation for Mass Production: After obtaining the client's confirmation on the samples, our production supervisor quickly arranged a large-scale production plan. We utilized advanced injection molding equipment and techniques to ensure efficient production and stable supply of the product. Meanwhile, we established a strict quality management system, monitoring and inspecting the entire production process to ensure product quality consistency and reliability.






IV. Project Achievements


Through our unremitting efforts and superb technology, we successfully customized the mold for the lithium battery cell holder for the client and conducted mass production. The client highly praised our products and services, indicating their intention to continue cooperating with us to jointly promote the development of the electric vehicle industry.




V. Conclusion


This project not only demonstrated our professional capabilities in mold design, manufacturing, and injection molding, but also earned us the client's trust and respect. In the future, we will continue to uphold the principle of "quality first, customer foremost" and provide clients with even more superior and efficient services.
