Early involvement in the material testing field has given us valuable expertise in the strict quality needs and processing demands of Test Specimen molding. We have worked extensively with material manufacturers and compounders to develop a line of standard specimen molds. R&D facilities, quality control departments, and educational institutions use our molds as a standard throughout the plastics world.

Advantages:

• The mold is dedicated to that one specimen.

• Changing the mold is not difficult. It requires a hoist and takes slightly longer than the other two styles of test specimen.

• We can build any standard or custom configuration in a mold base.

• If having different types of a specimen or easy mold changes are not as important as cost, a mold base is a perfect solution.

With an insert mold, the frame stays in the molding machine and the smaller mold locks into the frame. The standard test specimen series was designed for Insert molds.

Advantages:

• The initial insert and frame investment is more than a mold base but after the frame is purchased the insert molds themselves are less expensive. This is a reason we have insert molds installed all over the world.

• This type of mold is easy to handle and can be changed from the molding machine in a matter of minutes with a small hoist. • Insert molds are preferred by molding labs with medium to high volumes of test specimen runs with many mold changes.

• All Master Precision molds are built to the highest internal quality standards and tested before each shipment. We test for both quality of part and compliancy to the molding standard. Upon request, sample parts can be provided before shipment of mold

What is the WORLD Mold™?

A system consisting of a flat polished mirror plate, a very small mold plate, and a larger base that stays in the molding machine. All molds are made of 420 Stainless steel for productivity and longevity. The mirror plate and mold cavities are polished to an SPI A3 diamond finish. The novel ejector system is half in the insert mold and half in the base. All mold plates and mirror plates come with soft touch rubber lift handle for comfort and safety. A T-handle offers a quick release and lock of molds. The base is made of 4130 prehardened steel. The system is customized for your molding machine with your particular mounting hole locations, locating ring, knock-out holes, and sprue size.

All Molds are 100% tested with our plastic or you can have a pretest by providing your plastic blend.

This is the finest Test Specimen preparation mold you can buy. We will put the WORLD in your grip!
