text engraving

(OP)
Need to add text ( material marking, OEM symbol etc) on the injection molding tool.

Does it any standard insert can be used or need to engrave on tool?

RE: text engraving

I think most molders prefer to put part numbers and such on  replaceable inserts, for one reason because they change from time to time.  For another reason, they may make similar/ identical parts for different customers in the same mold.  And they make make minor variants (e.g. extra boss, etc.) using inserts.

I'm not aware that there is a global standard for such inserts, or for the blanks used to make them, but I'd guess that you could buy semi- standard parts from mold base suppliers.

RE: text engraving

Sometimes it is best to engrave onto an insert as it is easier if engraving needs to be changed.

RE: text engraving

If you are creative with your engraving, the inserts may not need to be changed very often as well.
