Interior Trim Soft Acoustic Mold Project Examples
Thermoforming and Compression Mold and Fixture Production Process
Our team will work with you to achieve durable and accurate molds and fixtures needed for efficient and cost-effective automotive trim liner and insulator manufacturing processes. We offer a wide variety of tooling capabilities from design engineering support to try-outs and AS support.
- Review of customer’s project RFQ and drawings.
- Conduct a feasibility study of a mold or fixture structure and formability.
- Prepare reference quotation, production schedule, lead time, and delivery information.
- Once PO is received, we hold an internal meeting to discuss design, upcoming fabrication, assembly, and QC and decide on the work schedule and set an overall direction of work.
- Mold design. Design a pattern CATIA DATA based on the meeting results with a customer and internal manufacturing standards.
- Six members of the team from the management, R&D, C/F, tooling teams hold internal meetings twice a week to discuss production progress and results. Executives and staff discuss quality status and improvement methods every first Monday of the month.
- Mold fabrication. Casting -> CNC machining -> semi finishing -> finishing and assembly -> quality control -> try-outs.
- In the middle of project and after mold production is completed, project manager, mold designer, and mold trial technician go over the mold check list to audit the completed products.

Interior Trim: Headliner, Door, Underbody Prototype Molds
Our design and engineering team is capable of supplying prototype (pirot) molds for small production of interior trim samples to verify product design and quality of mass-produced parts. Commonly, such molds are used for smaller productions of up to 100 parts. Soft trim acoustic prototype molds are made using aluminum (AL) material and produced either using Aluminum casting and Aluminum block before CNC machining; wooden and resin materials can also be applied for simple and low pressure types of processes.
Tryout Facility for Interior Soft Trim Molds
Our facility is equipped with 200ton and 250 ton hydraulic presses, oil heaters, steam boilers, heating oven, PU foaming machine for interior trim mold tryouts and prototype mold tryouts. This facility is used for mold prototype production and for sample parts production for client’s review. It is also used for small batch production of trim parts for clients for their R&D projects.
