Mold Design & Engineering
Make a better part before the first mold is cut. Discuss your part geometry, material, cosmetic requirements and production goals with our engineering team.
Built around your requirements
Tool design affects part appearance, cycle time, material use and manufacturing cost. OPINOX supports mold development, modification and maintenance, with communication throughout the project. Share your drawings and critical requirements to start the discussion.

Start with a clear brief
Send the drawing or sample reference, estimated quantity, material preferences, critical tolerances and appearance requirements. Delivery and acceptance terms will be reviewed for your project.
Before you request a quotation
What information should I prepare?
Share drawings or a sample reference, the intended application, estimated order quantity, material preferences and critical dimensions. Tell us about appearance, assembly and packaging requirements.
How are samples and production approved?
Agree on the tooling proposal and sample requirements for the project. Trial samples are reviewed before the agreed production plan proceeds. Confirm the acceptance criteria with the project team.
What determines price and lead time?
Part geometry, material, tooling construction, appearance requirements and quantity affect the project plan. Price, minimum order quantity and delivery are reviewed for each enquiry.
Bring a clear brief to the design review.
Moving from a product concept to tooling? Make the review start with the same design version and a clear account of how the part will be used. Separate confirmed requirements from questions that still need a decision.
Include in your enquiry
- Current part drawings or CAD files, with the revision identified.
- Application, assembly relationships and known material requirements.
- Critical features and surfaces with appearance requirements.
- Open design questions and the person reviewing proposed changes.
Buyer questions
Can I enquire before the design is final?
Yes. Share what is available and mark missing information. Discuss the review scope before treating an early discussion as an approved tooling plan.
How should design changes be communicated?
Identify the revised file, explain what changed and record unresolved points. Confirm which version forms the basis for the next project step.
