Aluminum Blow Molds for Snow Sled for the Toy Industry

Woodward Industries, Inc. recently manufactured a series of blow molds for  a company that supplies their own unique version of a mini luge, a type of sled which possesses a handle that allows one to steer the device by leaning into the turn. Meeting a .001 of an inch precision tolerance, we used our advanced blow molding technology to produce these luges molds, based on customer supplied CAD design files.

Constructed from aluminum materials, each luge mold contained one cavity and included special features, such as attached mounting rails and gun-drilled water lines. A vacuum assist suction cup was also attached to each product. In addition, all units were sand blasted to create an ultra-smooth finish. We also designed each Zipfy blow mold to have a 1.02 shrinkage allowance to ensure that when the luge contracted during solidification, the units would still meet client specifications.

Offering many years of expertise in the mold making business, Woodward Industries, Inc. was able to employ our blow molding technology to successfully manufacture a series of mini-luges molds that met our client's high expectations for quality.
