Material Selection Guidance

Not sure which material is right? Our engineers analyze your requirements:

• Operating temperature range analysis
• Chemical resistance evaluation
• Hardness (Shore) recommendation per application
• Compression set performance projection
• Regulatory compliance mapping (FDA/LFGB/REACH/RoHS)
• Cost vs. performance trade-off analysis
• Alternative material options if primary is unavailable

Backed by our compound lab’s 9+ years of formulation data

Design Optimization

We help you improve designs for better manufacturability and lower cost:

• Reduce part weight while maintaining strength
• Optimize draft angles to minimize flash
• Simplify geometry to reduce mold cavity count
• Consolidate multi-part assemblies into single molded piece
• Redesign features to avoid undercuts (lower tool cost)
• Add functional features at zero added tooling cost
• CAD revision support (we can modify your STEP/IGES file)

Prototype & Tooling Planning

Strategic planning from prototype to production:

• Rapid prototype options (SLA/SLS/soft tool vs production tool)
• Tooling strategy recommendation (aluminum vs P20 vs hardened steel)
• Cavity quantity optimization based on volume forecast
• Gate location and runner system design
• Ejection system planning for delicate geometries
• Mold life expectancy estimate (shots before refurbishment needed)
• Phase-gate timeline: T0 → T1 → PP → MP

Testing Protocol Design

Define the right test plan for your application:

• Dimensional CMM inspection plan (which features to measure)
• Visual defect criteria definition (AQL sampling level)
• Functional testing setup (leak test, pull test, compression)
• Aging / environmental test protocol design
• Third-party lab coordination (SGS, Intertek, etc.)
• PPAP documentation preparation (for automotive clients)
• First Article Inspection (FAI) package creation
