New Century: Delivering High-Quality Plastic Molds for the International Market
At New Century, precision starts long before mold design. It begins with how the company helps engineers and clients validate plastic molds. From part review and prototyping to moldflow analysis and machine compatibility, New Century brings decades of experience and high-performance equipment to every step of the process.
New Century specializes in the design and manufacture of high-quality plastic molds and injection molded parts for the international market. Managed by group professionals with many years of experience in mold design, molding technology and quality control, the company manufactures exclusively for the international market — mainly Europe, Japan, Australia and the Americas — and has thus developed an excellent understanding of the highest technical and quality requirements. Every mold is built to fit clients' expectations and match their standards.

What Makes a High-Quality Plastic Mold?
Not all plastic molds are created equal. The quality of a plastic mold sets the stage for every downstream decision — affecting everything from part tolerances and cycle times to scrap rates and tool lifespan. New Century guides every mold development project with a focus on:
- Material selection and moldability: helping determine which plastics meet strength, chemical resistance and tolerance needs.
- Mold design for manufacturability: ensuring part design and mold layout work together to produce quality parts consistently.
- Cooling and ejection strategies: anticipating how to optimize cycle time and part release before the tool is even built.
- Surface finish requirements: aligning mold finishing with functional and aesthetic needs — from high-gloss surfaces to micro-textures.
Plastic Mold Design and Prototyping Process
New Century takes a hands-on role in every mold project by combining engineering support, part testing and data-driven validation.
- Part Review and Design Input: collaborate with client teams to review CAD files, identify undercuts, evaluate tolerances and improve moldability from the start.
- Moldflow Analysis: before steel is cut, simulate plastic flow, gate placement, venting and shrinkage to reduce warping, sink marks and other costly issues.
- Prototyping: create prototype tooling to validate part geometry, material performance and critical dimensions before full production. Once approved, the validated design is turned into a robust, production-ready tool with the mold-making partners.
Equipment Supporting Mold Builds
In-house capabilities include horizontal molding machines ranging from 90 to 1000 tons, allowing New Century to build and test molds for a wide range of part sizes and materials. Machine specifications include wide tie bar spacing, large mold thicknesses and varying shot sizes to match part volume and complexity.
Why Machine Capability Matters
Having the right machine size takes capacity and the part's requirements into consideration, ensuring the right tooling, shot size and tonnage. This enables:
- Precision Manufacturing: small parts with tight tolerances benefit from high-precision, low-tonnage machines.
- Scalability: whether clients need a dozen parts or hundreds of thousands, the machines scale with them.
- Versatility: parts are molded for the medical, electronics, industrial and consumer goods industries — all with different requirements.
