ASTM D256 IZOD Impact Test Mold
What your process engineer actually checks
From printed prototype to molded part
We use injection molding to bridge our own printed prototypes into short runs, so install includes validated parameters for your resin and tooling guidance. The team that trains you actually molds parts — not a distributor reading a manual.

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
Running a different press? We’ll fit it.
These ASTM molds are configured for the APSX-PIM, but we also machine ASTM tensile, flexural and impact molds (D638, D790, D256) to fit third-party injection-molding machines — BOY, Arburg, Wittmann and others. Send us the mounting dimensions and nozzle/sprue location from a mold you run today, and we’ll CNC one to match. Standard and custom builds welcome.

We mold our own. Tooling and trials on request.
Need a mold built, an insert cut, or a trial run before committing? We can produce tooling and run sample shots on the actual machine so you see molded parts first. Typical tooling lead 2–4 weeks.
