Mold Tryouts Mold tryouts are an important part of reaching cycle time goals and consistent quality for the molder. Performing these mold trials at the molder’s facility may not be feasible, so it is a service that Paragon D&E provides, resulting in saving time, money, and space for the molder. For any new mold, the first mold tryout is very important. By our complete tryout procedure, we evaluate how the mold functions, including the plastic injection, heated compression, part ejection, and any side actions. With the tryout baseline information, the molder is able to monitor the mold and determine if adjustments in the mold or a mold tune-up are needed to meet production part requirements.
