Aplus Molds & Plastics Co., Ltd. (AMP) exhibits at TAIMOLD 2026, the Taipei International Smart Mold & Die Industry Fair, from 19 to 22 August 2026 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 2, booth S612. The stand covers in-house mold tooling, 5-axis CNC machining, dimensional verification and export molds built for customer-run production.
TAIMOLD draws a narrower crowd than the general plastics shows, and that’s the point of it. Visitors come looking for tooling rather than parts. If you buy molds to run on your own presses, or you’re weighing whether to move a tooling program out of its current shop, our in-house tooling and CNC machining is the reason to stop at S612.
What Aplus Molds & Plastics Is Showing at Booth S612
Booth S612 sits in Hall 2 of Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. The exhibit covers the tooling chain in sequence: design, machining, measurement, assembly and trial. Booth allocation is current as of July 2026 and worth checking against the official floor plan before you travel.
Machining capacity and control platforms
Our CNC facility runs eight machining centers built around German and Japanese control systems, Heidenhain and Siemens from Germany, FANUC and Mitsubishi from Japan, reaching spindle speeds of 26,000 RPM. Three are 5-axis boring and milling machines.
The largest handles work up to 3,000 by 2,100 by 1,000mm. That figure decides whether a large tool base can be cut in a single setup or has to be split across smaller beds, which is where repositioning error creeps in. For bumper, floor mat and grille tooling it’s the number that matters most, and it’s the sort of thing better demonstrated with a part in hand than described in a brochure.
Measurement before assembly, not after
Machined mold components are checked against the original 3D design before they go anywhere near assembly. We use a Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machine with a 900 by 1,600 by 800mm measuring range, and a GOM ATOS 3D scanning system capturing full-surface geometry down to 1 micron on fine-detail volumes and 5 microns on medium to large parts.
Full-surface scanning against CAD shows deviation across the whole component rather than at the handful of points a touch probe reaches. Buyers who have accepted a tool on a dimensional report and then found a problem three shots into production tend to ask about this first.
Mold fitting and trial
Our mold-fitting press handles assemblies up to 2,200 by 1,800mm, with 2,300mm of stroke and 300 tons of clamping force. Every mold is then trialed on our production injection machines, checked for fill, surface finish, dimensions and visible defects, and adjusted until output is stable across a sample run.
A tool is signed off when it produces good parts, not when the paperwork is complete. Our mold assembly, trial and validation process covers what happens between a set of machined components and a working mold.
Why Should Mold Buyers Attend TAIMOLD 2026?
TAIMOLD is organized by Chan Chao International with support from the Taiwan Mold & Die Industry Association, the Association of CAE Molding Technology and the Additive Manufacturing Association of Taiwan, which makes it the one Taiwanese show dedicated to tooling rather than to plastics processing generally.
Four shows on the same dates
TAIMOLD runs concurrently with Tairos, Automation Taipei, Taipei Logistics and the Taiwan 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Show, all at Nangang on 19 to 22 August 2026. Buyers arriving for one usually walk the others, and the overlap between mold making, automation and additive is where a lot of the interesting conversations happen.
Show hours are reported as 10:00 to 17:00, closing at 16:00 on the final day. Confirm against the organizer’s site closer to the date.
Where TAIMOLD sits in the calendar
Four weeks later, TaipeiPLAS runs 15 to 19 September 2026 at TaiNEX 1, where AMP also exhibits at booth J0302. The two shows serve different buyers. TAIMOLD is for tooling; TaipeiPLAS covers machinery, materials and the wider processing chain.
If your sourcing trip can stretch, covering both with a factory visit in between is efficient use of a single flight. If it can’t, come to TAIMOLD for molds and TaipeiPLAS for production capacity.
Export Tooling: Lead Times and What Ships With the Mold
AMP builds export molds for customers who run injection molding in their own factories. Design, machining, assembly, fitting, trial and dimensional verification all happen in Taiwan before the tool ships, so it arrives ready to run rather than needing further work at your end.
Baseline lead times by mold size
Lead times depend on structure and complexity as much as size. These are baselines for standard mold structures, confirmed at quotation once drawings have been reviewed:
| Mold size | Target machine | Baseline lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Under 285 tons | 35 to 45 days |
| Medium | 350 to 600 tons | 45 to 60 days |
| Large | 800 tons and above | 55 to 80 days |
Complex structures need time beyond these figures. The largest mold we have produced weighed roughly 33 tons.
The documentation package
Every export mold ships with steel certifications, a component BOM, cooling circuit drawings and the molding parameters recorded during trial. First-article parts are measured on the Mitutoyo CMM and the GOM ATOS scanner, and you receive a dimensional record against your original CAD model before release.
Standard components come from DME, HASCO, MISUMI, FUTABA and LKM, which keeps spare parts and maintenance supply available wherever the tool ends up running. You can specify preferred component brands and steel grades in your mold specification. Further detail sits on our export tooling page.
Moving a mold from another supplier
Mold transfer programs are supported, including incoming inspection, sample validation and first-article approval against your existing part specification. We assess steel condition, cavity wear, cooling layout and venting before committing to a schedule.
Where transferred tooling needs refurbishment, the repair runs in-house under the same quality system as new mold development. Bring drawings or photographs of the tool to the stand if a transfer is what you’re weighing up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Aplus Molds & Plastics is at booth S612, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 2. TAIMOLD 2026 runs from 19 to 22 August 2026. Booth allocation is accurate as of July 2026 and should be confirmed against the official floor plan before travelling.
Yes. Export tooling is a standard service. Send your part geometry, target resin and injection machine specification, and the tool is engineered to run on your equipment. Design, machining, assembly, trial and dimensional verification are completed in Taiwan before shipment, by air or sea freight.
The mold-fitting press handles assemblies up to 2,200 by 1,800mm, with 2,300mm of stroke and 300 tons of clamping force. The largest mold produced to date weighed approximately 33 tons. Machining capacity extends to work up to 3,000 by 2,100 by 1,000mm in a single setup.
Mold components and first-article parts are measured on a Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machine with a 900 by 1,600 by 800mm range, and on a GOM ATOS 3D optical scanner capturing full-surface geometry to 1 micron on fine-detail volumes and 5 microns on medium to large parts. Customers receive a dimensional record against the original CAD model before the tool is released.
As a baseline for standard structures, small molds for machines under 285 tons take 35 to 45 days, medium molds for 350 to 600-ton machines take 45 to 60 days, and large molds for 800 tons and above take 55 to 80 days. Complex structures require additional time. Confirmed lead times are given at quotation once drawings have been reviewed.
Aplus Molds & Plastics exhibited at Intertraffic Amsterdam in March 2026, TAIPEI AMPA in April and Taipei Pack in June. After TAIMOLD in August, we exhibit at Automechanika Frankfurt from 8 to 12 September 2026 (Hall 4.2, Stand H85), followed by TaipeiPLAS from 15 to 19 September at TaiNEX 1, booth J0302.
