Our Process

Custom Mold Workflow

01

Concept & Requirements Brief

Share performance targets, reference designs, or sketches. Engineering feasibility evaluation before quoting.

02

3D CAD Design & Simulation

Parametric 3D model, hydrodynamic simulation, FEA analysis. Design review via video conference.

03

Mold Fabrication

5-axis CNC machining. Lead time: 45–90 days. You own the mold.

04

Prototype & Testing

First article prototype. Pressure testing, weight check, on-water evaluation. Up to two iterations included.

05

Production Ramp-Up

Pre-production meeting, first run with enhanced inspection. MOQ: 200+ units (SUP), 50+ units (RIB).

FAQ

What is the MOQ for a custom mold project?

Custom mold MOQ: 200+ units (SUP), 50+ units (RIB), 200+ units (kayaks).

Who owns the custom mold?

You own the mold. It is stored at our facility exclusively for your production. Mold transfer available on request.

How long does custom mold fabrication take?

Mold fabrication: 45–90 days. Prototype: 7–20 working days from design approval.

Can I modify an existing model?

Yes. "Derivative customisation" from our 50+ existing models reduces mold cost and lead time by 40-60%.
