Production line and factory setup overview
A general-purpose precision toolroom providing CNC milling, EDM, grinding, drilling, fitting, metrology and tryout services for moulds, dies, jigs and repair components. It is a service workshop, not a guarantee that every advanced mould or die can be made without specialist design, trials and target-machine access.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Launch with repair parts, jigs, simple mould inserts and small press/injection tools. Screen one reliable VMC, conventional or wire EDM matched to work, surface grinder, toolroom lathe, drill/tap station, fitting bench, measuring instruments, coolant management and controlled customer drawing process.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Buyer requirement and site-data review
- Engineering/design and material selection
- Equipment manufacture or tool preparation
- Installation, alignment and utility connection
- Representative operating trial
- Output, quality and safety inspection
- Documentation, training and release
Products, capacity and market fit
- Confirm the precise customer product, target machine or plant flow before procurement.
- Approve representative trials, measured outputs and critical safety/quality requirements before release.
- Document specifications, operating settings, inspections and maintenance responsibilities.
- CNC/EDM mould and die tooling services - Defined work envelope, material grade, customer drawing, machining tolerance, heat treatment route, measurement method, trial machine and service scope - Plastic, metal, construction-material and machinery workshops requiring local repair, inserts, jigs and small production tools
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |

Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- Tool steel, aluminium, mould bases, electrodes/wire, cutters, grinding wheels, coolants, gauges, fasteners, heat-treatment service and packing
- Stable three-phase electricity, protected material/finished-product storage, calibrated quality-control instruments and appropriate process ventilation
- Documented maintenance, critical spares, site safety procedures and product-specific environmental controls
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
| Scope | Indicative range | Entry-plan note |
|---|---|---|
| VMC, CAD/CAM and basic cutting tools | US$45k-140k | Core small toolroom |
| EDM, grinder, lathe and fitting equipment | US$35k-130k | Capability-dependent |
| Metrology, coolant, safety and initial stock | US$15k-55k | Essential quality scope |
| Indicative entry total | US$95k-325k | Large machining, building and specialist staff excluded |
