How Many Parts Can You Pull from a Precision Board Tooling Mold?
One of the most common questions we hear from customers using Precision Board tooling for thermoforming molds is:
“How many parts can I pull off a Precision Board tooling mold?”
It’s a simple question with a complex answer, and in this blog, we’ll break it down for you.
What Determines the Lifespan of a Precision Board Tooling Mold?
The number of parts you can produce from a Precision Board tooling mold depends on several key factors, including:
- Process Temperature
- Cycle Times
- Material Being Formed
- Tooling Use & Geometry ️
- Precision Board Density
With 16 different densities available in both high-temp (PBHT) and low-temp (PBLT) options, Precision Board tooling materials offer solutions for everything from short-run projects to full-scale production. The right tooling density and coating combination can mean the difference between a mold that produces a handful of parts versus thousands.
Choosing the Right Precision Board Tooling for Your Needs
Every project is different. Some tooling applications may benefit from using a lower-density Precision Board tooling option with a protective surface coating, while others may require a higher-density Precision Board tooling mold that doesn’t need coating at all. The best approach depends on your budget, production volume, and physical requirements.
