Custom belt mold tooling Processes
Step 1: Sign NDA(Non-Disclosure Agreement)
An NDA is signed before you disclose any confidential information (such as drawings or design concepts) about your custom belt project.
Step 2: Complete Design Drawing
Based on your provided drawing, our engineering team will release a DFM (Design for Manufacturing) report and help revise the drawing. If you only have a design concept without drawings, our R&D team offers design support to complete the drawing.
Step 3: Quotation & Payment
After having all your requirements, we will quote for both tooling cost and product pricing. Payment terms for tooling are 50% deposit and 50% after sample approval by you. Payment terms for mass production are normally 30% deposit + 70% balance before shipment.
Step 4: Tooling Fabrication & Sample Approval
Lead time for tooling fabrication is 30 days. You will receive a 3D printed prototype sample to finalize the design, and T1, T2 samples for final approval on your custom belt mold design.
Step 5: Mass Production
After the T2 tooling sample is approved and deposit payment received, we will start mass production. The lead time for mass production is 45 days. It may be longer for custom design smart belt projects.
