As NEVs evolve towards larger sizes and integrated designs, the demand for large-tonnage plastic molds for body structural and exterior parts has surged. The manufacturing capability for molds of 3500 tons and above has become a core indicator of a company's technical strength. The Top Fame (V1 Industry Group), leveraging nearly 20 years of manufacturing experience and high-end equipment configurations, has successfully achieved the R&D and mass production of such molds. It possesses the capabilities of 24-hour uninterrupted production and high-precision stable machining, perfectly adapting to the stringent requirements of NEV large structural parts.

Large-tonnage molds impose extremely high requirements on equipment rigidity, machining range, and precision stability. V1 has tailor-made a dedicated equipment matrix, equipped with a 4-meter stroke large CNC machining center, large electrical discharge machining (EDM) machines, and professional mold assembly platforms, realizing fully independent manufacturing from component machining to whole mold assembly. The 4-meter CNC achieves integrated machining, effectively reducing splicing precision deviations; large EDM machines overcome the blind spots in deep cavity and complex cavity machining; the professional assembly platform, combined with a high-precision positioning system, strictly controls assembly errors within 0.01mm, ensuring overall machining precision stably reaches ±0.005mm.

Addressing industry pain points such as the susceptibility of large-tonnage molds to deformation and the difficulty in controlling molding precision, V1 has developed a full-process core process. In the design stage, CAE simulation technology is introduced to comprehensively simulate molding stress and temperature changes, optimizing the gating and cooling systems to avoid deformation risks in advance. In the machining stage, overall rigid processes and multi-point clamping are adopted to strictly control geometric tolerances. During heat treatment, intelligent temperature control technology is applied to uniformly improve material hardness and toughness. In the assembly stage, 3D positioning processes significantly enhance efficiency and precision. This series of innovations has pushed the first mold trial (T0) success rate to over 95%, effectively solving the industry problem of multiple mold trials and poor mass production stability.

Currently, this manufacturing capability is widely applied in the fields of NEV large body structural parts, automotive exterior parts, and high-end equipment housings. In the NEV field, it realizes the integrated molding of large floor panels and door frames, catering to lightweight requirements. In the exterior parts field, it precisely manufactures large bumpers to meet high aesthetic quality requirements. Relying on its overseas plant in Mexico, V1 has achieved localized support and delivery of large molds, providing synchronous support for the overseas production lines of North American and European automakers, accurately matching the global layout demand of localized manufacturing and customer production.

Facing the continuous evolution of the NEV industry, V1 will continue to increase R&D investment, optimize equipment and process systems, and break through the manufacturing technology of larger-tonnage plastic molds, providing core process support for the large-scale and integrated development of the global automotive and high-end equipment industries.
