Blow moulds are used in mould making to manufacture plastic parts with hollow cavities efficiently and reproducibly. Typical applications include technical plastic components, air ducts, containers, automotive components, housings or parts with complex geometries.

In MODELLTECHNIK’s mould making portfolio, blow moulds are part of the product range for prototypes, pre-series and small batches.

Yes, blow moulds can also be used for prototypes and pre-series. This is particularly useful when components need to be tested at an early stage under near-series conditions. This allows geometry, material behaviour, wall thicknesses, function and assembly properties to be checked before investing in series production.

MODELLTECHNIK specialises in prototyping and mould making and offers tooling solutions for prototypes, pre-series and small batches.

Blow moulds from MODELLTECHNIK offer clear advantages when plastic components need to be developed quickly, precisely and close to the final application. These include short paths between development, prototyping and mould making, the production of individual tooling solutions and extensive experience with technical plastic applications.

MODELLTECHNIK develops and realizes design models, prototypes and complex technical products. Its mould making services are geared towards tools ranging from prototypes through to small-batch production.

The development of a blow mould begins with an analysis of the component and the technical requirements. This is followed by the tooling concept, design, manufacturing, sampling and optimisation. The aim is to create a mould that reliably delivers the required component quality.

A typical process includes:

1. Reviewing the component data and requirements
2. Consulting on feasibility and the suitable tooling concept
3. Designing the blow mould
4. Manufacturing the mould in the mould making department
5. Sampling and evaluating the components
6. Optimising the mould until the desired functional and dimensional quality is achieved

Experience in mould making is important for blow moulds because tool geometry, venting, wall thickness distribution, material behaviour and component function are closely interlinked. Even small design details can influence whether a blow-moulded part is leak-tight, stable, dimensionally accurate and economical to produce.

MODELLTECHNIK has a modern and fully equipped mould making department and produces, among other things, fast pre-series tools, aluminium prototype moulds and tools for technical plastic applications.

Blow moulds are used for hollow plastic components, while injection moulds are generally used to produce solid or partly functional plastic parts with precise contours. In blow moulding, the plastic is pressed against the mould wall using air pressure. In injection moulding, molten plastic is injected under pressure into a closed cavity.

In brief: injection moulding is suitable for precise moulded parts, while blow moulding is ideal for hollow plastic components. In its mould making division, MODELLTECHNIK offers various types of tools, including classic aluminium prototype moulds, mould steel inserts and blow moulds.

Blow moulds are relevant for industries that require technical hollow plastic components. These include automotive, mechanical engineering, medical technology, consumer goods, packaging technology and industrial applications.

Blow moulds are particularly important for companies that want to develop lightweight, functionally integrated and durable plastic components or optimise existing parts.

Yes, MODELLTECHNIK manufactures blow moulds on a project-specific basis and aligns the tooling concept with the component, material, quantity and technical application. This is particularly important for prototypes, pre-series and technical plastic components with individual requirements.

MODELLTECHNIK’s in-house mould making department focuses on tailor-made tooling solutions and, in addition to blow moulds, also includes prototype tools, small-batch tools, multi-component moulds and gas-assisted injection moulding tools.

MODELLTECHNIK manufactures blow moulds in the field of mould making for prototypes, pre-series and small batches. The focus is on tailor-made tooling solutions that are precisely adapted to the component geometry, material, quantities, function and future series-production requirements.

MODELLTECHNIK’s mould making services include tools for prototypes, pre-series and small batches, as well as multi-component moulds, blow moulds and gas-assisted injection moulding tools.
