Military box mold

What special requirements need to be considered during the design and manufacturing process of military box molds to meet military standards and specifications?

The following special requirements need to be considered during the design and manufacturing process of military box molds to ensure compliance with military standards and specifications:
Durability and strength:
Impact resistance: The molds and finished products need to withstand severe impacts and drops, so the materials and designs must have high impact resistance.
Corrosion resistance: Since the military environment may involve extreme climates, the materials need to have excellent corrosion resistance.
High/low temperature resistance: The molds and boxes need to be able to maintain stable performance under extreme temperatures.
Waterproof and sealing:
Waterproof design: The box needs to have good waterproof performance to protect the internal equipment from the influence of humid environment.
Sealing: The mold design needs to ensure the sealing of the box to prevent the intrusion of external substances such as dust and sand.
Dimensional accuracy and tolerance:
Strict dimensional tolerance: Military equipment often requires precise matching, and the manufacturing accuracy of the mold must meet strict tolerance requirements.
Modular design:
Flexibility and adaptability: Military boxes often need to adapt to different equipment and configurations, and mold design should consider modularity and adjustability.
Meet military standards:
Follow standards: Mold design and manufacturing must comply with specific military standards and specifications, such as MIL-STD (US military standards).
Certification and testing: Molds and the boxes they produce usually need to undergo rigorous certification and testing, including durability testing, environmental testing, etc.
Manufacturing process:
High-precision processing: High-precision processing equipment is required during the manufacturing process to ensure that the performance indicators of the mold and box meet the requirements.
Quality control: There must be a strict quality control process, including material inspection, processing monitoring and final inspection.

Which technologies and equipment are necessary in the manufacturing process of military box molds?
