Kaihua Mucell Dashboard Tooling Automotive Mold Maker
1.Product Introduction
Kaihua's Mucell dashboard injection molds set industry standards for automotive interior manufacturing, merging cutting-edge Mucell technology with precision engineering. As pioneers in Mucell mold development—with 38 successful projects and 20+ years of expertise—we’ve refined these tools to meet global automakers’ stringent demands, as demonstrated by our solution for the FORD CD391 Mondeo (Left-Hand Drive) and beyond.
At their core, these molds leverage Mucell technology: supercritical fluid (CO₂ or N₂) injected into molten plastic creates 5-50μm microcells, slashing weight by 15-20% without sacrificing strength. This delivers panels with superior dimensional stability and surface quality, aligning with the industry’s focus on fuel efficiency and performance.
Complemented by physical foaming and injection compression processes, the molds eliminate defects like sink marks and weld lines. Enhanced by Kaihua’s B-side structural design expertise, they optimize durability and assembly compatibility, ensuring seamless integration with diverse production lines while supporting high-volume manufacturing with consistent quality.
In addition, two of Kaihua's prominent Automobile Plastic Injection Molds—the Car Door Panel Injection Mold with Stack Mould Technology and the Car Door Panel Injection Mould with Gas Assistance Technology—have received wide praise in the industry.

(1)Production process
· Closing the mold: Close the mold to ensure it is in place.
· Feeding: Add the dried plastic pellets into the hopper of the injection molding machine.
· Melting: Heating the injection molding machine to melt the plastic particles.
· Injection: Molten plastic is injected into a mold through an injection device.
· Pressure holding: Maintain a certain pressure in the mold to fully fill the mold with plastic.
· Cooling: Cooling and solidifying in the mold to shape the plastic.
· Demoulding: Open the mold and remove the plastic product.
