The missing piece between part design and mold making.

We design and/or review your plastic part for moldability, develop the right mold concept and support the project through to the start of production. That way, costly correction loops never happen.

  • Shorter lead times
  • Savings in cost and time
  • Reliable, long-lasting mold

Unfortunately, many plastic parts end up as a compromise between what you would like to have and what is technically feasible.

Services

Design and engineering do not always agree.

Part developers think in function and form, mold makers in steel and manufacturing. We speak both languages and bring them together early on.

Part development

Creating the part design

From the first idea to the finished part design. Your requirements, implemented ready for molding and production.

  • Design of the plastic part to your specifications
  • Mold-friendly design from the start
  • Demolding and uniform wall thicknesses taken into account

Consulting

Part design review

We assess your part with simulation and analysis software, combined with hands-on mold making experience.

  • Shrinkage, warpage, weld lines, air traps, cycle time
  • Wall thickness analysis against sink marks
  • Draw direction and demolding analysis based on your required surface finish

Injection molds

Mold concepts

We develop the mold concept and bring part designers and mold makers to the same table.

  • Selecting the right mold maker
  • Requirements specification for the mold maker
  • Defining the mold concept
  • Review of the mold design

Project management

Sourcing and support

Through our network of suppliers and partners, we source molds and services wherever you manufacture.

  • Regular updates on project status
  • On-site mold acceptance and tryouts
  • Optimization and approval through to the start of production

The key decisions are made at the very beginning of a project. That is why we prefer to be your partner right from the start.

Reference project

Housing of the LeakCam 600 acoustic camera

A real-world example: the housing of the LeakCam 600 acoustic camera by CS Instruments. We took over the project from the designer, reworked it into parts ready for molding and production, and optimized it with our simulation, wall thickness and demolding analysis. We discussed the mold concepts with the mold maker and supervised the mold build on site through to the tryout.

  • Sept. 2024First tryout (T1)
