Production Process:
-
Design and Conceptualization
The process starts with the creation of a detailed 3D mold design using CAD software (e.g., SOLIDWORKS). Design requirements, material compatibility, and functionality for electronic household applications are considered.
-
DFM (Design for Manufacturability) Analysis
A DFM analysis is conducted to identify potential design issues and optimize the mold for efficient production, ensuring the design is manufacturable and cost-effective.
-
Mold Fabrication
The mold is fabricated using high-precision equipment such as CNC, EDM, and wire cutting, with the integration of cold or hot runner systems and appropriate gating options (e.g., slide or pin-point gates).
-
Material Selection and Testing
Materials (e.g., ABS, PA6) are selected based on the part’s requirements, and sample testing is conducted to ensure compatibility and proper material flow during molding.
-
Prototype and Sample Production
Prototype parts are produced to evaluate part quality, appearance, and functionality. Adjustments are made based on the sample results.
-
Adjustments and Refinements
Any necessary refinements are made to the mold based on sample testing, ensuring optimal performance and quality.
-
Production and Quality Control
Mass production begins once the mold is finalized. Stringent quality control ensures parts meet specifications for appearance, dimension, and functionality.
-
Final Delivery and Packaging
After production, parts are carefully packaged (typically in wooden pallets or cartons) for delivery to customers.
Post Process options:
-
Polishing
This process smooths the mold surface to achieve a high-gloss finish, reducing friction and ensuring better part appearance and ease of ejection.
-
Nickel Plating
A layer of nickel is applied to the mold surface to enhance corrosion resistance, improve durability, and extend the mold’s lifespan, especially when working with abrasive materials.
-
Hardening
The mold is treated through heat or chemical processes to increase surface hardness, preventing wear and tear from high-volume production.
-
Texturing
A pattern is applied to the mold surface to improve the part’s aesthetic appeal, enhance grip, and reduce visibility of fingerprints or scratches, commonly used for consumer electronics and household products.
