Your mold is making bad parts. Let's find out why.
Flash, short shots, sink, warpage, sticking? We diagnose the root cause from the China side and hand you a ranked, step-by-step fix — so you stop throwing money at guesses.
No card for a quote. Fixed price before any work starts. NDA on request.
Stop guessing. Get the root cause.
A running mold making scrap is money bleeding out every shift. The trap is trial-and-error: tweak a parameter, run a batch, still wrong, repeat. Production Rescue is a remote root-cause diagnosis from a 40-year mold maker — we separate whether it's the mold, the process or the material, and hand you a ranked plan of what to try, in what order. It's the fastest, cheapest way to a real answer.
Mold vs. process vs. material
We tell you which one it actually is — so you fix the right thing instead of chasing parameters.
Ranked, not a wall of theory
Most-likely cause first, with the exact steps to try. Written to be run on the floor, not read like a textbook.
Before you cut steel
We tell you if it's a quick process fix or something that needs mold work — so you don't pay to modify a tool you didn't need to.
What we diagnose — and what we don't
This is remote diagnosis and a written plan. Being clear on that is how we keep it honest.
In scope
- Defects on a running plastic injection mold: flash, short shot, sink, warpage
- Weld lines, burn, jetting, splay, sticking / ejection issues
- Dimensional drift and shot-to-shot inconsistency
- Root-cause split: mold vs. process vs. material
- Ranked, step-by-step corrective plan
- Moldflow verification where applicable
Not included / by inquiry
- Physically repairing or reworking the mold (optional follow-on)
- Implementing the plan on your press (your shop runs it)
- On-site visits — diagnosis is remote
- Designing a new mold (that's Mold Design)
- MIM, die-cast or non-injection tooling (ask us)
Your rescue report
One clear, English, action-first report — delivered as a PDF you can hand to the floor.
- Root-cause diagnosis — the defect traced to mold, process or material, with the reasoning
- Ranked corrective plan — step-by-step, most-likely fix first, in the order to try it
- Process vs. mold call — whether it's a parameter fix or needs steel — before you spend on rework
- Moldflow verification — where a simulation confirms or narrows the cause
- What to re-check — how to confirm the fix held, shift to shift
- English throughout — read it, run it
From scrap to a plan you can run
You send the evidence
Photos of the bad parts, a sample if you can, current machine parameters, material and mold info.
We diagnose it
AI reads the geometry and runs Moldflow; the Shifu reads the defect the way only 40 years can — mold, process or material.
We rank the fix
A step-by-step plan, most-likely cause first, with the process-vs-mold call so you don't over-spend.
You run it, we back it
Followed the plan and still stuck? Show the execution record and we re-diagnose free. Two rounds included.
We rank by likelihood, and tell you how sure we are
Diagnosing from photos and parameters has limits. So we never hand you one confident-sounding verdict — every finding is ranked by likelihood and tagged by how it was verified.
See how we label each finding
| Label | Means | Where we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Measured | Checked against real parts / parameters | Dimensions, defect location, shot data |
| Simulated | From a Moldflow run | Fill, weld lines, warpage, gate |
| AI-Draft | Automated first pass — needs confirming | Likely cause ranking |
| Engineer-Reviewed | The Shifu looked at it directly | Mold vs. process call, hidden causes |

Send the bad parts, get a quote
Upload photos of the defect and your parameters. A free first look comes with every quote.
What to send
- Photos of the defective parts — close-ups of the problem area
- A sample part — if you can ship or scan one
- Current machine parameters — temps, pressures, times, screenshot is fine
- Material & mold info — resin, cavity count, any mold photos/drawings
Have defect photos, a requirements TXT or other supporting files? You can also email your engineering brief and attachments. Request an NDA before sharing confidential files.
After review, we send a written quote with the agreed deliverables, price and payment milestones. Preview engineering payment milestones →
