Taihei is fast becoming one of the world’s leading precision mold makers. This has been achieved through a combination of factors beginning with the right corporate culture and our drive to continually satisfy our customers’ demands.

All molds are designed using Unigraphics Team Centre Software, ensuring CAD data files from Product Design can be used to create the CAD files for mold design and fabrication. Moldflow FEA software predicts any weakness which helps to eliminate molding problems before the mold is made.

We pay close attention to steel selection in order to increase mold life. Using a range of internationally recognized European and Japanese grades, we have the ability to guarantee mold life up to and beyond 1,000,000 shots.

Using both graphite and copper electrode technology, Taihei has a diverse range of European and Japanese high precision equipment to cut steel precisely. Coupled with fine wire EDM machines and profile grinding, we have an array of the most advanced equipment for precision mold making. Where possible we use hot sprue, hot runner, hot manifold and hot half molds to cut down on plastic gate wastage.
