Light-facing surfaces
Identify optical surfaces, texture or micro-features and the associated datums. Provide the optical geometry and agree how functional performance will be evaluated.
Automotive Lighting
Automotive lighting tooling
Bring optical surfaces, appearance and assembly requirements into one automotive lighting tooling review. GPTMOLD develops mold enquiries around headlamp lenses, rear-lamp components, light guides and related plastic parts.
Start with the complete part and its interfaces. The mold and trial plan should reflect how the component directs light, fits the assembly and is judged for acceptance.
Discuss Automotive Lighting Tooling
Review the lighting part from three angles
Visible areas and materials
Specify the resin grade, color, transparent zones and cosmetic limits. Review gate and parting-line locations alongside appearance criteria and any multi-color interfaces.
Assembly and validation
Share mating components, locating features and critical dimensions. Agree sample conditions and responsibilities for dimensional, visual and lighting-function checks.

What to include in your enquiry
- Current 3D part model, 2D drawing and assembly references
- Resin grade, color and optical or appearance specifications
- Critical surfaces, datums, tolerances and acceptable mark locations
- Expected volume and any two-shot or insert-related requirements
- Trial quantity, test methods and customer approval requirements
Any customer-specific standard, certification evidence or special test requirement should be identified in the brief and confirmed in the project scope.
