Mold Making

Creating molds for bag hardware involves several key steps to ensure precision and quality. Here’s an overview of the process:

1. Design: The first step is to design the hardware piece using CAD software. This design will serve as the blueprint for the mold.
2. CNC Machining: A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine is used to carve the mold out of metal based on the CAD design. This ensures high precision and accuracy.
3. Casting: Once the mold is created, molten metal (usually zinc alloy) is poured or pressure-injected into the mold. The metal is then cooled and solidified to form the hardware piece1.
4. Finishing: After the hardware piece is cast, it undergoes various finishing processes such as electroplating, powder coating, or anodizing to achieve the desired appearance and durability.
5. Quality Control: The final step involves inspecting the hardware pieces to ensure they meet quality standards and specifications.
