Molds For Automotive Lighting Systems

The modern vehicle lighting is becoming increasingly complex and – not least due to the LED technology – has become a stylistic element that partly gives the entire vehicle fleet of a car manufacturer (OEM) a distinctive brand-typical face. At the same time the diversity of models of a platform rises due to individual customer requirements considerably.

To realize all these innovative lighting systems today more complex, high-quality but at the same time affordable molds are more than needed.

Bluetooling cooperates very closely with one of the best Turkish plastic mold maker, an absolute specialist for molds in the segment of automotive lighting systems. Capacity depending on size of the tools is 200 to 250 molds per year.

Business activities:

• Housings, reflectors, bezels, lenses
• Feasibility studies and design recommendations
• Filling simulation (Autodesk Moldflow)
• Shrinkage and warpage analysis
• Tool design (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Unigraphics NX)
• Absolutely reliable project management (100% in time)
• Manufacture of injection molds up to 2500 x 2000 mm and 25 t weight
• Bi-Injection molds
• Prototype molds (aluminum or simple tool steel)
• Overmold tools (encapsulation)
• Progressive dies (focus on metallic conductors, steel heatsinks for LED)
• Tool try-out in house up to 1600 t injection machine (bi-injection up to 650 t at present)
• tool optimization
• Tool repair and maintenance
