Design FAQs
Part Design: You should consider injection molding from the first day of design. Simplify the geometry and reduce the number of parts as soon as possible will yield many benefits for you.
Mold shell design: to ensure that the design of the mold shell to avoid defects in the processing process. For a catalog of 10 common injection molding shortcomings and information on how to fix or avoid them, read the article here. Take into account the location of the glue inlet, and apply Moldflow mobile phone software such as Solidworks Plastics to carry out simulation.
Manufacturing FAQs
Circulating system time: minimize circulating system time. The application of equipment with hot runner system technology will provide assistance for comprehensive special tools. Small changes can make a very big difference, and when you manufacture millions of parts, reducing the cycle time by a few seconds can save a lot of money.
Assembly: Design parts to lower the assembly at a larger level. The vast majority of injection molding in Southeast Asia is due to the cost of assembling simple parts throughout the injection molding process. In a sense, you can design the installation body outside the steps, which can save a lot of labor costs.
Example (Injection Molding Design)
Appropriate designinjection moldingParts instead of suitable machining manufacturing, thermoforming or 3D printing parts represent some differences between various production technologies and know when your new project is more suitable for each other. The typical parts you will most likely be injection molded include connectors, mounting brackets, or housings. For example, most consumer electronic devices are made of plastic shells (shells) that are injection molded and used as actors for special tools.
