Engineering and quality control · Since 1997
A Clear Process From RFQ to Production Release
Quality requirements are defined by the approved drawing, sample standard, inspection method and production control plan. The process below shows the typical project sequence.
DFM & Quotation
Review manufacturability, mould concept, key risks, cavity plan, machine fit and commercial requirements.
Mould Engineering
Complete the mould design and obtain approval before steel cutting and purchased component release.
Build & T0
CNC, EDM, wire EDM, fitting and assembly. A typical target to T0 is approximately 26 days.
Samples & Inspection
Trial moulding, dimensional inspection, sample review, correction and customer approval.
Production & Delivery
Mass production, finishing, assembly, packing and arranged international delivery.
Quality in practice
Control the Critical Details From Mould to Part
Documented quality practices and product inspection support the project from tooling through production. Quality requirements, inspection methods and documentation are agreed according to the customer program.

Common questions
Quality & Tooling FAQ
Do you provide DFM before mould construction?
Yes. DFM and technical review are used to identify moulding, tooling, appearance and dimensional risks before design approval and steel cutting.
How are moulded parts inspected?
Inspection is based on the approved drawing, sample standard and agreed project requirements. Depending on the product, inspection may include dimensional measurement, appearance checks, functional review and assembly verification.
What happens after the T0 mould trial?
T0 samples are inspected and reviewed against the approved requirements. Any moulding, appearance, dimensional or assembly issues are recorded and corrected before the next trial and customer sample approval.
How is quality controlled during mass production?
Production quality is controlled according to the approved drawing, confirmed sample, inspection criteria and project control plan. The required inspection frequency and records are agreed for each customer program.
How is mould life defined?
The typical range is approximately 300,000 to 1,000,000 shots. The committed target is stated in the quotation and depends on steel, construction, resin, maintenance and operating conditions.
How long does it take to reach T0?
A typical target is approximately 26 days. Actual timing depends on tool size, complexity, steel, hot runner components, design approval and changes.
What part tolerances can YIOT MOULD achieve?
Achievable tolerance depends on part size, geometry, material, mould construction and measurement method. Critical dimensions are reviewed during DFM and confirmed against the approved drawing before mould manufacturing.
What quality documents can be supplied?
The document package is agreed by project and may include dimensional inspection, sample records and current applicable supplier or quality documents.
