Q-Advance

Key characteristics

Method where only the core is produced by using
EF-TEK's standard Q-Program mold base.

It is suitable for application to clients’ newly developed products, and its easy mold modification and repair help reduce initial development costs.

A mold manufacturing method specialized for small-lot, multi product production.

It is possible to produce products, and supply customers
before manufacturing the dies and molds for mass production.

When transitioning to mass-production molds, molds can be manufactured based on the improvements, modifications, and repairs made in Q-ADVANCE, allowing a fast transition to mass-production molds without additional issues.

KP4M material is used to produce the core, and up to 50,000 shots are guaranteed.

You can select the core material and injection material you desire.

Production takes approx. 10 to 20 days with only 50~60% of the general costs required
for mass production dies and molds.

The UNDER CUT removal method uses manual extraction, and depending on the length and shape, the production method may need to be changed to Q-PRO, or Q-MASS.

It may require further post processing as core cooling, hot water, and
hot oil are not installed.
