What we design for
- Uniform walls, ribs, and bosses that resist sink and warp
- Draft, parting lines, and features that simplify tooling
- Snap fits, ultrasonic welds, overmolding, and fastened joints
- Resin selection for strength, temperature, chemical, and UV exposure
- Tolerance stack-ups for parts that have to seal or align
Working with your molder
We review designs with your molder or a molder from our network, respond to design-for-manufacturing feedback, and support tooling reviews and first article inspection. That keeps the path from CAD to good parts as short as possible. Our manufacturing setup support continues through production.
Molded parts in sealed and rugged products
Many molded housings also have to seal, survive impact, or pass RF signals. We combine molded part design with enclosure sealing and shock and vibration analysis where products need it. Molded part design is part of our mechanical engineering services.
Frequently asked questions
Can you convert a machined or 3D printed prototype into a molded part?
Yes. We redesign parts for molding while keeping the features that matter, which often reduces cost and weight.
Do you make the molds?
No. We design the parts and work with your molder or a molder we recommend, and we support tooling reviews and first articles.
What volumes make sense for injection molding?
It depends on part size, complexity, and tooling cost. For lower volumes we can discuss alternatives such as lower-cost tooling, urethane casting, or machined parts.
Can you help reduce part count or cost on an existing molded product?
Yes. We review existing designs for part consolidation, simpler tooling, and assembly improvements.
