Design For Manufacture Injection Moulding

Design For Manufacture Injection Moulding

Getting a plastic component design right before tooling begins saves far more time and cost than fixing problems once a mould has already been cut. Andel Plastics provides design for manufacture services for injection moulding from our Birmingham facility, reviewing a component's geometry against what actually moulds well, drawing on in house mouldflow analysis and direct tool design expertise throughout the process. We accept projects at any stage, from a rough sketch through to a fully developed CAD model, working with customers to refine a design into something genuinely ready for production tooling. Because our engineering team also runs the moulding machines and toolroom that will eventually produce the part, our design recommendations reflect what actually happens on the shop floor rather than generic guidance disconnected from real production. This approach is aimed squarely at minimising revisions once tooling is underway, since most costly changes trace back to decisions made earlier in the process.

For manufacturers who want design for manufacture handled properly rather than treated as a formality, this is exactly the standard our service works to.
