Injection Mould Tool Making, Aluminium And Steel, Built In India
From prototype aluminium bridge tooling to hardened steel production tools rated for a million shots, Voxelcore India engineers and project manages injection mould tooling through one dedicated tooling engineer, covering full design for manufacturing review, tooling CAD and T1 sampling.
Why Brands Tool With Voxelcore
Tooling engineered with rigour, transparent pricing, and one accountable project engineer end to end.
Aluminium Prototype Tooling
Cut in 3 to 5 weeks for bridge production runs of 100 to 10,000 parts, at a fraction of the cost of hardened steel tooling.
Hardened Steel Production Tools
P20, H13 and stainless tool steels for high cycle production tools rated from 100,000 up to over 1,000,000 shots.
Engineered Cooling And Gating
Conformal cooling, hot runner systems and balanced multi cavity layouts engineered for cycle time and part quality.
DFM Before First Cut
Mould flow review and gate optimisation happen before any tool steel is touched, catching issues at design stage rather than at T1.
Dedicated Project Manager
Tooling is managed locally by a tooling engineer, one point of contact, an accountable timeline and transparent pricing throughout.
GST Compliant Invoicing
Clear, itemised tooling invoices, GST compliant throughout, with the finished tool and parts dispatched anywhere in India.
From Tool Concept To T1 Approved Tooling
A clear, engineer managed process from first concept review through to a signed off, production ready tool.
Tool Concept And DFM
We review your part, target volume and cycle time. Tool layout, gating, ejection and cooling are engineered before we quote.
Tooling Design And CAD
Full tool CAD is produced and shared with you, covering core, cavity, ejector plate, cooling channels and gating layout.
Manufacture And Inspection
Aluminium tools are CNC cut in 3 to 5 weeks. Steel tools include heat treatment and hand fitting, taking 6 to 10 weeks.
T1 Sampling And Tuning
First shot parts are produced, dimensionally inspected and tuned in. The tool is signed off only once you approve the T1 samples.
Tooling Engineered Before Steel Is Cut
A poor tooling decision is the most expensive mistake in plastic manufacturing, because the only real fix is more tool steel and more weeks of lead time. Voxelcore India engineers tooling thoroughly ahead of manufacture, mould flow simulation, gate placement, ejection pin layout, cooling balance and shrinkage compensation are all worked through in CAD before a single chip is cut. The result is tooling that produces good parts on T1, not after several rounds of expensive rework.

Tool Steels We Work With
The right tool steel matched to your shot volume, part finish and how abrasive your polymer is, specified per job.
7075 Aluminium
Lightweight, fast to cut aluminium for prototype and bridge production tooling, rated for roughly 5,000 to 10,000 shots.
P20 Pre Hardened Steel
Mid grade tool steel for production tooling on non abrasive polymers, with roughly 100,000 shot life on standard cosmetic tools.
H13 Hot Work Steel
Hardened, high grade tool steel for long production runs with abrasive glass filled or carbon filled polymers.
Stainless 420
Corrosion resistant stainless for medical, optical and food contact tooling that needs repeated polishing over its life.
What We Tool For
From single cavity prototype tools to high cavitation production programmes for Indian and export brands.
Consumer Product Tooling
Cosmetic finish steel tooling for retail ready housings, packaging and accessories, typically 50,000 to 500,000 shot life.
Medical Device Tooling
Validated tooling for single use medical disposables, fluid handling components and sterile pack instrument bodies.
Automotive Tier 2 Tooling
Production tooling for under bonnet clips, fasteners, sensor enclosures and aftermarket trim parts.
Electrical And Electronics
Insert moulded brass terminal housings, shielded enclosures and panel mount production tooling.
Industrial OEM Tooling
Replacement tooling for legacy products, second source tooling for production resilience, and capacity expansion tools.
Prototype To Production Bridge
Aluminium bridge tooling that proves the product out, then transitions to hardened steel once volume is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
A single cavity aluminium prototype tool for a small part generally starts around ₹1,50,000 to ₹3,00,000. A hardened steel production tool for a cosmetic consumer part usually falls between ₹4,00,000 and ₹15,00,000 for a single cavity, and climbs from there for multi cavity or family tools.
Aluminium prototype tooling runs 3 to 5 weeks from approved CAD. Hardened steel production tooling takes 6 to 10 weeks once heat treatment is factored in. An express option can be quoted for launches on a tight deadline.
Aluminium is quicker and cheaper to cut, but wear starts showing after roughly 10,000 shots. Steel, whether P20 or H13, comfortably handles 100,000 shots and beyond, takes a cosmetic polish well, and stands up to abrasive glass filled polymers that would chew through aluminium. Which one makes sense comes down to your expected volume.
Yes. Spare cores, cavities and inserts are standard practice for tooling that a production line depends on. We keep the CAD on file afterward so a replacement can be cut immediately if it is ever needed.
Yes. For higher cavitation production tools we design balanced hot runner manifolds with independently controlled drops, which cuts cycle time and reduces gate marks on cosmetic parts.
Tooling is designed and manufactured inside our own facility in India, with a dedicated tooling engineer managing the programme from concept to sign off, so you always have one accountable point of contact rather than being handed off to an outside tool room.
