SINO AUTO MOULD Development History:
From Automotive Aftermarket Parts Molds to OEM Mold Supplier
This transformation profoundly reflects SINO AUTO MOULD’s strategic upgrade from serving niche demands in the automotive aftermarket to deeply participating in the entire new vehicle development process of OEMs.
In its early stages, the company focused on maintenance molds for automotive aftermarket parts, leveraging rapid response and cost optimization as core advantages to provide repair enterprises with customized mold solutions for vulnerable parts like bumpers and fenders. As technology accumulated and market insights deepened, it gradually integrated into the new vehicle R&D of OEMs, collaborating with their Simultaneous Engineering (SE) teams from the mold design stage, participating in body structure optimization, material selection, and process validation.
Ultimately, it grew into an OEM mold supplier covering all categories for both traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles, achieving a role transition from “passively responding to demands” to “actively defining standards.”
Core Business & Product Portfolio：
Covering All Categories of Automotive Molds, Focusing on High-End and Customized Solutions
New Energy Vehicle Structural Part Molds: Technological Breakthroughs in the Lightweight Era
Addressing the “lightweight and high safety” demands of new energy vehicles, SINO AUTO MOULD developed series like SFM micro-foaming molds and chassis structural part molds. Notably, the micro-foaming mold utilizes a “short carbon fiber + flame retardant” injection molding process, resolving the traditional conflict between part strength and weight, achieving a 30% weight reduction while enhancing crash safety.
Automotive Interior Trim & Functional Part Molds: Integration of Precision Manufacturing and Aesthetic Design
Interior trim molds include products like instrument panel carriers, door panels, and center consoles, utilizing composite plastic materials such as ABS and PC/ABS. Processes like two-shot injection molding and In-Mold Decoration (IMD/IML) enable personalized texture and color customization. For example, the center console mold developed for a high-end luxury electric vehicle integrates ambient light guide strips and touch panel mounting structures, achieving a cavity surface roughness of Ra0.02μm, ensuring defect-free products with no weld lines or sink marks.
Supporting Services for Automotive Molds: Full Lifecycle Technical Support
Beyond mold manufacturing, SINO AUTO MOULD provides full-process services from product Simultaneous Engineering (SE), mold design, and sample prototyping to mass production support. During the SE phase, CAE simulation allows early intervention in customer product design, optimizing part structures (e.g., adding process holes, adjusting draft angles) and reducing mold development cycles by 30%. During mass production, technical teams are deployed to assist with customer production line commissioning and provide mold maintenance training, ensuring stable mold operation.
Technological R&D & Innovation Strength:
Building Core Competitiveness through Technical Barriers
R&D Team and Mold Research Institute Construction
The company’s R&D center currently houses 420 full-time R&D personnel, including 2 Ph.Ds and 6 senior engineers, forming a complete R&D system covering “material process research + structural design + CAE simulation + intelligent manufacturing.” The center is equipped with various licensed design and simulation software, as well as experimental equipment for 3D scanning, steel composition analysis, and mold fatigue testing. Annual R&D investment exceeds 8% of revenue (reaching 120 million RMB in 2022). Long-term collaborations with universities like Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and South China University of Technology have led to the establishment of the “Joint Laboratory for Digital Design of Automotive Molds,” conducting cutting-edge research in intelligent scheduling and smart molds.
