As the new energy vehicle industry advances toward larger-scale and integrated designs, demand for high-tonnage injection molds for body structural parts and exterior components has surged exponentially. Manufacturing capability for large-scale injection molds of 3500 tons and above has become a core indicator of a mold enterprise's technical strength. Leveraging nearly 20 years of manufacturing expertise and advanced equipment configuration, V1 has successfully achieved R&D and mass production of 3500-ton large-scale injection molds. With core capabilities including 24/7 continuous production, high-precision stable machining, and integrated molding, our solutions perfectly meet the production demands for large structural components in new energy vehicles.

 

Dedicated High-End Equipment Matrix: Foundation for High-Tonnage Mold Manufacturing

Manufacturing large-tonnage plastic molds demands strict equipment rigidity, extensive machining ranges, and stable precision—requirements that standard equipment cannot meet. V1 has built a dedicated high-end equipment matrix featuring 4-meter large CNC machining centers, high-tonnage EDM machines, and large mold assembly platforms. This enables fully in-house execution from component machining to complete mold assembly, eliminating outsourcing and ensuring dual control over quality and efficiency. The 4-meter CNC enables integrated machining to reduce assembly-induced precision deviations; high-tonnage EDM conquers deep and complex cavity blind spots; and professional assembly platforms with high-precision positioning systems keep assembly errors within 0.01mm. This comprehensive setup ensures stable machining accuracy of ±0.005mm.

 

Core Process Innovations: Breaking Through Industry Pain Points

Large-tonnage mold manufacturing faces common challenges including deformation susceptibility, difficulty controlling molding precision, and complex assembly. V1 has developed a series of core process technologies to address these issues across design, machining, and assembly. In design, CAE simulation comprehensively models molding processes, stress distribution, and thermal changes to optimize gate layouts and cooling systems, preemptively preventing deformation. During machining, an overall rigid machining process with multi-point clamping minimizes deformation and ensures geometric accuracy. Intelligent temperature-controlled heat treatment ensures uniform material heating and cooling, enhancing hardness and toughness while reducing post-use deformation risks. In assembly, 3D positioning technology paired with high-precision measurement equipment significantly boosts efficiency and accuracy. These innovations have raised the first-trial qualification rate to over 95%, effectively solving the industry pain points of frequent trial runs and poor mass-production stability.

 

Deep Multi-Scenario Applications: Aligning with Global Automotive Large-Scale Needs

V1’s 3500-ton large-scale injection mold capability is widely applied to NEV large body structural parts, automotive exterior components, and high-end equipment housings. In the NEV sector, it enables integrated molding of large floor pans, door frames, and trunk lids, significantly improving structural stability and production efficiency while aligning with lightweight design goals. For exterior parts, it precisely manufactures large bumpers, fenders, and roof trims, meeting stringent precision and aesthetic requirements. In high-end equipment, it supports housings for large industrial and new energy machinery. To meet global automakers' large-scale production needs, V1 leverages its Mexico overseas factory for localized mold matching and delivery, providing synchronous mold support for North American and European production lines and achieving precise alignment between mold manufacturing and client localization strategies.

 

As the new energy vehicle industry continues to evolve, demand for high-tonnage plastic molds will keep growing. V1 will continue to increase R&D investment, optimize equipment and process systems, and break through larger-tonnage mold manufacturing technologies—providing core mold support for the large-scale and integrated development of the global automotive and high-end equipment industries.
