3D-printed conformal cooling inserts manufactured in Ningbo, China — shipped directly to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Faster cycle times. Less warpage. ROI in weeks.
Traditional straight-drilled cooling channels can't follow complex part geometry. The result: uneven mold temperatures, longer cycle times, warped parts, and higher scrap rates.
Dashboard trims, door handles, underbody components, and EV battery housings for Tier 1 automotive suppliers. Conformal cooling reduces cycle time on complex contoured parts by 30–45%.
Australia's growing medtech sector demands tight tolerances and consistent part quality. Conformal cooling eliminates warpage on thin-wall diagnostic housings, sample containers, and surgical device components.
High-volume packaging molds, appliance components, and industrial fittings. Cycle time savings of 20–35% translate directly to lower cost-per-part at Australian production volumes.
Upload your insert CAD (STEP/IGES) or mold drawings. Include cooling inlet/outlet positions if known — or we'll recommend them.
Our engineers design conformal channel paths optimised for your part geometry. You receive a DFM report, channel layout, and firm price quote.
Your insert is printed in 420 Stainless Steel or 18Ni300 Maraging Steel using Laser Powder Bed Fusion. Post-processing: stress relief, HIP (optional), CNC finish to H7 tolerance.
Shipped via DHL Express with full documentation: material cert, dimensional report, leak test results. Estimated 10–14 days Ningbo → your facility.
Drop-in replacement for your existing insert. Most customers see cycle time reduction on first production run. We track and document results for ROI reporting.

ChAFTA (China–Australia Free Trade Agreement)
The China–Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA), in force since December 2015, eliminated tariffs on most industrial goods including manufactured metal parts (HS 8480.71, 8480.79 for injection molds and mold components).
Import duty: 0% for most mold insert components under ChAFTA. Standard Australian GST (10%) applies. Your freight forwarder or DHL customs can confirm classification for your specific parts.
Send your insert drawing and we'll return a conformal channel layout, DFM report, and firm price — no obligation. Response within 24 hours.
Under ChAFTA (China–Australia Free Trade Agreement), most manufactured metal goods including mold components are subject to 0% import duty. Standard Australian GST (10%) applies on the customs value plus freight. DHL handles customs clearance — your invoice and Certificate of Origin (Form for ChAFTA) are provided by us. Confirm the HS code with your freight forwarder or customs broker for your specific parts.
Manufacturing (LPBF print + post-processing + inspection): 7–10 business days. DHL Express Ningbo to Melbourne/Sydney: 3–4 days. Total: 10–14 days for east coast cities. Perth and regional locations may add 1–2 days. Expedited print services available for urgent projects (+30% cost).
We accept STEP (.stp/.step), IGES (.igs/.iges), Parasolid (.x_t), and native files from SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, and Creo. 2D drawings (PDF/DWG) are sufficient for initial quoting. If you don't have CAD, our engineers can model from 2D drawings or your sample part.
Yes. We work regularly with Australian automotive Tier 1 suppliers and can provide documentation compatible with IATF 16949 quality systems. For medical device customers, we provide full material traceability, inspection reports to AS/NZS ISO 9001 standards, and can supply FDA-compliant documentation where required.
Standard: 50% deposit upon order confirmation, 50% balance before shipment. Payment via T/T (bank transfer in AUD or USD), PayPal, or Wise (formerly TransferWise). First-time orders: full payment upfront. Established customers: extended terms on request. We provide GST-exclusive invoices with all required fields for Australian business accounting.
Yes — send us your part drawing, current insert dimensions, and thermal images or cycle data showing the hot spot location. We can turn around a quote within 24 hours and prioritise production for urgent retrofit projects. Expedited lead time: 7–10 days total (manufacturing + shipping).
