We support robotics applications in automation, healthcare, consumer electronics, agriculture, and logistics. Our expertise spans structural components, wearable robotic parts, manipulators, and lightweight enclosures tailored to each industry’s unique performance requirements.

How do you manage quality control for complex robotic assemblies?2025-04-15T07:35:53+00:00

For complex robotic assemblies, KingStar Mold implements a layered quality control approach that ensures every part functions correctly within its system. We begin with part-level dimensional verification using tools like CMMs and optical comparators to confirm tight tolerances. During assembly, precision jigs and fixtures are used to maintain alignment, while torque-controlled tools ensure consistent fastening. Functional tests are performed on moving assemblies to check articulation, range of motion, and mechanical fit. Additionally, we conduct test-fit validations for mating components and use end-of-line checks—such as continuity tests for integrated electronics or pressure tests for sealed modules—to guarantee the final assembly meets performance and reliability expectations.

How does KingStar Mold support rapid prototyping for robotics components?2025-04-15T07:34:10+00:00

KingStar Mold accelerates rapid prototyping for robotics components through a combination of in-house CNC machining, 3D printing, and soft tooling, delivering high-precision parts with fast turnaround. Our engineers provide immediate DFM feedback to optimize designs early, while post-processing options like assembly, insert fitting, and surface finishing help simulate real-world performance. This streamlined process allows robotics developers to iterate quickly, validate functionality, and confidently transition to low-volume production.

How do you ensure the precision of robotic parts during manufacturing?2025-04-15T07:30:38+00:00

Ensuring the precision of robotic components is essential for achieving reliable performance, smooth movement, and accurate control within robotic systems. At KingStar Mold, we combine tight process control, advanced equipment, and multi-stage inspections to guarantee that every part meets strict dimensional and functional requirements.


1. Use of High-Precision Equipment

We manufacture robotic parts using CNC machines, injection molding tools, and 3D printers that support micron-level tolerances. Our 5-axis CNC mills and high-resolution printers enable consistent production of complex geometries and tight fits.

2. Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)

To verify dimensional accuracy, we rely on CMMs—automated machines that use tactile or laser probes to map a part’s 3D geometry. These machines detect even the smallest deviations in size, flatness, and hole positioning, ensuring every critical feature is within tolerance.

3. Optical Measurement Systems

For non-contact and high-speed inspection, we use vision systems and optical comparators. These tools allow us to inspect fine details, curved surfaces, and transparent or delicate materials without touching the part, which is ideal for certain robotic sensors and housings.

4. 3D Laser Scanning

We utilize 3D scanners for full-surface inspection, especially on complex or organic-shaped parts made via additive manufacturing. This allows us to compare the produced part to its original CAD model, detecting warping, shrinkage, or other distortions.

5. Surface Roughness Testers

Low-friction surfaces are critical in robotics to reduce wear. We use profilometers to assess surface finish quality, especially for moving parts like shafts, guides, and end effectors, ensuring smooth operation and longer part life.

6. Gauge and Fixture-Based Inspection

For high-volume molded or machined parts, we implement custom gauges and go/no-go fixtures to check dimensions quickly and consistently on the shop floor. These tools ensure precision without slowing down production.


By combining meticulous in-process monitoring with post-production inspections using high-end measurement systems, KingStar Mold ensures that each robotic part meets the exacting standards required for automation, mobility, and industrial performance.

What are the benefits of overmolding and insert molding for robotics parts?2025-04-15T07:28:26+00:00

Overmolding and insert molding provide enhanced durability and reduce assembly time by combining multiple materials into one part. This is particularly useful for creating ergonomic handles, grips, and seals in robotic devices, optimizing performance and cost.

What is the role of material selection in robotics manufacturing?2025-04-15T07:27:30+00:00

Material selection plays a critical role in robotics manufacturing because each robotic component has specific functional requirements—from strength and precision to flexibility and resistance to environmental factors. Choosing the right material directly influences the performance, reliability, and efficiency of robotic systems. Here’s how:


Mechanical Strength for Structural Integrity

Structural parts like frames, arms, and joints require materials that can withstand high stress and repeated motion. Metals such as aluminum alloys and stainless steel are preferred for their high tensile strength, dimensional stability, and load-bearing capacity—essential for supporting actuators and transmission systems.

Lightweight Materials for Efficient Movement

For mobile robots, drones, or articulated arms, reducing weight improves energy efficiency, speed, and range of motion. Materials like carbon fiber composites, engineering plastics (e.g., POM, PA), and magnesium alloys help strike a balance between strength and minimal mass.

Precision and Dimensional Accuracy

High-precision components such as gears, end effectors, and bearings need materials that can hold tight tolerances during machining or molding. CNC-grade metals and high-stiffness plastics are ideal for achieving the repeatable precision robotics demands.

Flexibility and Soft Touch for Human Interaction

In collaborative and soft robotics, components like grippers, pads, and seals must be flexible and safe for human interaction. Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) offer the elasticity and biocompatibility needed for these applications.

Wear and Friction Resistance

Moving joints, sliding mechanisms, and rotary parts experience constant motion. Materials with low-friction coefficients and excellent wear resistance, such as POM, UHMWPE, or PTFE-filled composites, are essential to prevent premature failure.

Thermal and Electrical Performance

Robotic systems often combine mechanical and electrical components. Materials like aluminum and copper alloys are used where thermal conductivity is critical (e.g., heat sinks), while insulative plastics protect sensitive electronics and reduce risk of short circuits.

Environmental and Chemical Resistance

Robots used in harsh environments—factories, outdoors, or laboratories—require parts that can resist moisture, chemicals, UV exposure, or temperature extremes. Stainless steel, ABS, and chemical-resistant nylons help components maintain performance in challenging conditions.

Manufacturability and Customization

Material selection also impacts how easily a part can be manufactured or customized. For rapid prototyping and custom geometries, 3D-printable materials such as Nylon (PA 12), PETG, or metal powders enable faster iterations. For large-scale production, injection moldable thermoplastics offer repeatability and cost efficiency.


At KingStar Mold, we work closely with our clients to choose materials that align with each robotic component’s performance, safety, and budget goals—whether it’s a lightweight arm, a flexible gripper, or a durable gear system. Our expertise in both metal and plastic materials, across injection molding, CNC machining, and 3D printing, ensures every robotic part is built for its purpose.
