KDET specializes in multi-cavity plastic injection mold design and manufacturing, delivering high-output tooling solutions that dramatically reduce per-part cost for high-volume production. With cavity configurations from 24 to 48 cavities and integrated hot runner systems, our multi-cavity molds achieve cycle time reductions of up to 35% compared to single-cavity or cold runner alternatives. Since our founding in 2007, we have manufactured over 2,000 multi-cavity molds for clients in automotive, packaging, medical, and consumer goods sectors worldwide.
Our multi-cavity mold solutions are engineered to maximize production efficiency while maintaining tight dimensional consistency across all cavities. Every mold undergoes rigorous mold flow analysis to ensure balanced filling, uniform cooling, and consistent part quality from every cavity in every cycle.

Q: What is the maximum number of cavities you can build in a single mold?
A: We have successfully built molds with up to 96 cavities for small precision parts. The maximum cavity count depends on part size, complexity, injection machine platen size, and shot weight capacity. Our engineering team will recommend the optimal cavity count based on your production volume targets.
Q: How do you guarantee part consistency across all cavities?
A: We use Moldflow simulation for computational cavity balancing, precision CNC machining with ≤0.005mm accuracy, and CMM inspection of every cavity. During mold trials, each cavity's output is individually measured and documented. Cavity-to-cavity weight variance is maintained within 0.5% and dimensional variance within ±0.03mm.
Q: Can existing single-cavity molds be converted to multi-cavity?
A: Generally, no. Multi-cavity molds require complete redesign of the runner system, cooling channels, and ejection system. We recommend building a new multi-cavity mold optimized for high-volume production rather than modifying existing single-cavity tooling which often costs more than new construction.
Q: What maintenance schedule do you recommend for multi-cavity molds?
A: We recommend preventive maintenance every 100,000 shots including cleaning, lubrication, wear component inspection, and hot runner system check. A comprehensive overhaul including cavity polishing and component replacement is recommended every 500,000 shots. We provide a detailed maintenance manual with every mold delivered.
