On the surface, choosing the lowest bidder might seem like a smart move - but the wrong molder can cost you far more in the long run. Here’s what can go wrong: 1. Delayed timelines due to poor scheduling or machine downtimeIf jobs aren’t scheduled realistically or machines go down unexpectedly, production backs up, ship
Our quality control process isn’t optional—it’s embedded into everything we do. What “Quality” Means to Us Dimensional accuracy: Hold the print, hit the tolerances, verify capability. Functional reliability: Parts assemble, seal, flex, or snap as designed—every time. Aesthetic standards: Color, gloss, texture, and cosmetic surfaces meet your callouts. Traceability & learning: Data flows forward to
Your mold is the heart of the injection molding process—and often your biggest upfront investment. Understanding what goes into it can help you make informed decisions. Key Considerations: Mold Material: Aluminum molds are faster to produce and cheaper but wear out faster. Steel molds cost more but last longer—ideal for high-volume production. Cavities: A single-cavity
The design phase is where most injection molding problems begin. Here are five common mistakes—and how to avoid them: Undercuts What it is: An undercut is a feature that interferes with the direct ejection of the molded part from the tool. These may include hooks, threads, or holes that are perpendicular to the parting line.
