Application and tooling requirements

Use the part drawing and intended application to define the requirements.

Fit & assembly

Review mating features, fastening points and critical dimensions.

Visible surfaces

Identify texture, cosmetic areas and acceptable gate locations.

Material & release

Review wall transitions, shrinkage and ejection for the intended resin.

Engineering support for your part

Mold filling analysis for a cover component

Review the part before cutting steel

Our mold design, manufacturing and trial activities support the agreed requirements. Production injection molding is also available when the project includes molded parts.
