Built for production teams
What your process engineer actually checks
Locked, traceable lot chemistry
Every lot ships with a COA documenting PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace. Aerospace and medical teams reorder 4+ times without re-qualifying.
Qualified parameters, not just powder
Validated parameter sets for EOS M 290, Renishaw 500Q, SLM 280, and our own AO Metal LPBF ship with the order. Load the profile and hit density on the first build — no parameter-development burn.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
About this product
Standard Sample Mold for APSX-PIM
This pre-assembled aluminum mold is designed for producing standard small-scale plastic test samples. Engineered for seamless integration with the APSX-PIM machine, it includes all necessary mounting hardware for immediate operation.
Product Overview & Specifications
-
Mold Dimensions: 4.8″ (W) × 6.0″ (H) × 2.0″ (D)
-
Sample Part Size: 2.54″ (L) × 0.50″ (W) × 0.125″ (Thick)
-
Included Components: Pre-installed alignment pins & bushings, four (4) shoulder bolts, one (1) set of clamping claws
-
Note: Multiple mold orders include only one set of claws to be shared between frames
Key Features & Benefits
-
Ready for Production: Arrives fully assembled with all pins, bushings, and hardware installed. Simply mount and begin molding
-
Active Thermal Management: Specifically designed longer shoulder bolts create a passive cooling gap between the mold and the nozzle plate until full clamping. This design significantly improves thermal stability and cycle time by reducing heat transfer
-
Precision Engineering: Tight-tolerance pins and bushings guarantee perfect mold alignment for consistent, high-quality sample production
Installation & Alignment Procedure
-
Mounting:
-
Secure the left side using the four provided shoulder bolts
-
Secure the right side using the included clamping claws
-
-
Orientation: Ensure the top edge of the mold is flush with the top of Block 4 on the APSX-PIM
-
Alignment Check:
-
Use manual control buttons to initiate clamping
-
HALT the machine once alignment is initiated
-
-
Critical Safety Note: The pins and bushings are a tight, interference fit. They must be seated using the machine’s clamp force. Do not attempt to press them together by hand
-
Finalize Installation: Complete the clamping cycle after proper alignment

Unedited feedback from customers who reorder ASTM D256 IZOD Impact Test Mold.
★★★★★
Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.

★★★★★
Asked about ferrite content on a Friday. A materials engineer answered Monday morning with actual data, not a sales pitch. That's why we keep ordering.

COA matches the bottle. PSD and flow are exactly what was on the sheet — we run it on a Renishaw 500Q and it hits density on the first try.
