Detailed Description
GP Mold provides full-lifecycle injection molding development and manufacturing solutions for global pickleball equipment manufacturers, focusing on meeting the high-precision, impact-resistant, and consistent mass production requirements of pickleball balls, racket handles, edge guards, net fasteners, and training accessories. We employ a closed-loop engineering development model, utilizing DFM (Design for Manufacturability) review, precision mold structure design, mold flow simulation analysis, cooling and ejection system optimization, and high-standard CNC/EDM/wire cutting manufacturing processes to ensure high-cycle production stability and micron-level fit reliability. GP Mold has the capability to support injection molding equipment from 100T to 3000T, and can provide both aluminum and high-grade steel mold solutions, adapting to production scales ranging from small-batch verification to tens of millions of units. This helps customers shorten verification cycles, reduce mold scaling risks, and improve overall yield, with specific optimizations for the high-speed impact resistance, weatherability, aerodynamic hole formation, and welding consistency of pickleball products..
Specifications
GP Mold's pickleball molds are designed with high roundness, uniform wall thickness, precise hole positioning, excellent dynamic balance, and weld strength as core design objectives. They support various advanced mold architectures, including hot runner, multi-cavity, stack molds, insert molding, two-color overmolding, thin-wall hollow molding, and precision pin arrays for hole formation. These are suitable for pickleball balls (such as left/right or upper/lower symmetrical hemispherical shells, and complete balls formed by hot melt welding), racket components (such as handles, edge guards, and throat connectors), net fasteners (such as bracket clips and net post bases), and training accessories (such as target frames, ball retriever housings, and ball storage containers). Mold manufacturing tolerances are stably controlled within ±0.005–0.05mm, ensuring reliable critical assembly fits, uniform wall thickness, controllable weld line strength, precise formation of aerodynamic holes and welding surfaces, and smooth demolding. We provide independent engineering and customized solutions for competitive and recreational pickleball scenarios, ensuring that part molding quality meets the stringent requirements of USAPA/IFP standards for consistency, impact resilience, and outdoor weather resistance.
Product Features
GP Mold prioritizes the use of high-hardness, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and high-polish steel materials in pickleball mold manufacturing, such as S136/S136H, 718H/P20, 4Cr13H, H13, NAK80, etc. This is combined with controlled heat treatment (vacuum quenching/tempering/nitriding) and wear-resistant coating processes (PVD/TiN/CrN) to ensure that the molds maintain excellent dimensional stability and cavity surface integrity even under long-term high-temperature and high-pressure injection molding cycles and in humid outdoor environments. The molding material compatibility system covers general plastics (PP, HDPE, LDPE), engineering plastics (PA6/PA66, POM, PC, ABS, PC/ABS alloys), and high-performance pickleball-grade materials (glass fiber reinforced materials such as PA66+GF15-30%, impact-modified PP+EPDM, weather-resistant and UV-resistant modified ASA, low-temperature impact-resistant PC/PE blends, high-flow thin-wall formulations, and TPE/TPU overmolding for improved feel). Mold surface treatment strictly follows SPI/SPE standards (A-1/A-2 grade mirror high gloss, B grade semi-gloss, C grade matte polishing), and supports VDI texture, laser etching, sandblasting, mold chrome plating, mirror polishing, anti-stick coatings, and optimized micro-venting pin arrays to ensure a smooth ball shell surface, no pin marks in the holes, and a flat and consistent welding surface. We provide mold delivery and verification capabilities compliant with ISO 9001 and USAPA/IFP relevant specifications, and support cleanroom production environments (Class 7–8) and a traceable material batch management system.

Exceptional Precision

GP Mold leverages high-precision machining centers and multi-dimensional inspection systems (CMM, 3D scanning, visual inspection, T1 mold trial data acquisition) to achieve consistent control of mold cavities, cores, pin arrays, welding ribs, alignment guiding structures, venting grooves, and parting lines. We have extensive experience in machining symmetrical hemispherical shells, precision aerodynamic holes, multi-slide racket handles, and thin-walled hollow sphere molds, ensuring stable mold tolerances, uniform wall thickness, and balanced melt filling, preventing air entrapment, pin marks, short shots, sink marks, warping, and welding misalignment, thus significantly improving validation speed and mass production yield.

Customization Capabilities

GP Mold employs an "engineering one-case-per-project" mold development strategy, providing precisely customized mold solutions based on customer product design, competitive standards (such as USAPA hole distribution and rebound requirements), usage scenarios, and production capacity needs. Our engineering team is involved from the initial design stage, providing DFM optimization suggestions, focusing on hemispherical symmetry, welding surface alignment, and dynamic balance optimization of the gating system and cooling circuit. We independently customize the mold structure, mold temperature control circuit, cooling plan, ejection design, and surface treatment solutions, ensuring stable scalability of the mold during trial production and mass production.

Enhanced Durability NAK80

GP Mold's mold material system and heat treatment solutions significantly enhance the durability of molds in pickleball product manufacturing. Through high-hardness, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant steel and advanced coating processes, the molds reliably withstand high-temperature cycles, frequent opening and closing, and high-cycle mass production conditions, reducing common failure risks such as cavity corrosion, wear, cracking, and deformation. This helps customers achieve longer mold life and lower overall maintenance costs.

Efficient Production

We optimize molding cycles through CAE mold flow simulation, hot runner system design, and efficient cooling engineering, ensuring high-speed production capabilities on our clients' injection molding platforms. Through precise planning of gating and cooling systems, we shorten cooling times, improve part dimensional stability, and reduce warping and scrap rates, directly increasing customer productivity, lowering unit costs, and guaranteeing consistent mass production over the long term.

Quality Assurance

Based on the ISO 9001 certification system, GP Mold implements strict quality control and data recording at every stage, from raw material incoming inspection, mold processing, assembly and finishing, T1 mold trial verification, pilot production to mass production. We conduct durability, filling, demolding, thermal stability, and full-dimensional functional verification of the molds to ensure they meet global competitive standards for pickleball products before formal delivery. We also support full-process traceability management of part production and international logistics delivery capabilities.
