Built Around Your Drawing
Lichengda supplies non-standard precision mold bases, also described as custom mould bases, to an agreed drawing and manufacturing scope. Define the plate stack, material condition, dimensions, locating features, machining, supplied components, assembly and inspection requirements before production.
The American spelling mold base and British spelling mould base refer to the same product category. The drawing and quotation define the actual configuration and acceptance requirements.
Prepare a mold base inquiry with the current drawing revision and delivery destination.
Custom Injection and Die-Casting Mold Base Configurations
Custom Injection Mold Bases
Drawing-specific plate layouts for injection mold projects, including configurations for hot runner systems, two-color and multi-color molds, inverted layouts, stripper plates and hydraulic core-pull systems. Specify the machined features and supplied components in the inquiry.
Die-Casting Mold Bases
Custom plate and machining requirements for die-casting tooling, reviewed against the material, geometry and inspection requirements of the project.
Machining, component supply and assembly are confirmed in the quotation. Mold bases, also spelled mould bases, are the product category covered here; complete mold systems are not automatically included.
Choose a Mold Base Configuration and Supply Scope
Select the configuration and whether your inquiry covers machining or machining with guide pillar and bushing assembly. Review the drawing information for that configuration before requesting a quote. Your selection carries the corresponding catalog reference into the inquiry.
Use the custom mold base RFQ checklist to prepare the drawing revision, datums and inspection requirements.

Mold Base Machining and Assembly
Our project scope can include CNC rough and finish milling, precision grinding, drilling, boring, tapping and water-channel machining. Guide pillar and guide bushing assembly is available, together with dimensional and CMM inspection reports.
Product Photographs
Examples of machined plates, components and product forms supplied by Lichengda for this website. Your approved drawing defines the actual grade, dimensions, configuration and manufacturing scope.
Size and Handling Capacity
Mold bases up to 1,500 × 1,200 mm, with a maximum set weight of approximately 8 tonnes, are considered against the project drawing. Overall height, geometry, handling requirements and machining access are reviewed for each project. Maximum size and weight do not define a universal precision specification.
Define the Inspection Requirements
Identify critical fits, hole locations, plate relationships, guide pillar features and the inspection datums on the drawing. We confirm the applicable tolerances and inspection scope during quotation. Request a dimensional or CMM report for the features that matter to your assembly.
Production Schedule
Typical production lead time is 7–15 working days, or 15–25 working days for large or complex projects. Production lead times are quoted in working days, excluding weekends and statutory public holidays in China. Lead time starts on the next working day after all applicable conditions have been fulfilled: receipt of the formal purchase order, final drawing/specification approval, and receipt of the deposit where required. Transport time is separate.
