Engineering Design

We use SolidWorks and mold flow analysis to determine what modifications, if any, need to be made to the mold design.

Our engineers will work with you every step of the way in order. They will review all aspects of your project, which includes gate locations, material flow, material selection, and ejector pin location.

Gate Locations and Material Flow

Part of the engineering design review looks at gate location. Depending on the material and strength/impact resistance requirements, the correct gate location(s) will determine how efficiently the material flows in the mold.

Engineering Design Material

The material we use depends on a product’s application, environmental factors, and part design thicknesses. So our engineering team can tell if you need to make walls thinner or thicker or if we need to add/remove support ribs.

Ejector Pin Locations

Ejector pins push your components out of the mold. However, the unfortunate drawback to ejector pins is that they leave marks that are typically not removable. Because of this, we work with you to determine the location of the pins from a design and manufacturing perspective.
