Design For Manufacturing (DFM) report, it’s a bridge between product developer and mold manufacturer. It has been implemented in many manufacturing industries and proved to a sufficient way to improve efficiency. A comprehensive DFM report for mold making project would be the first step to success. As a mold maker<\/a>, the more potential problems you foresee, the less risks you had in the manufacturing process. Here are a summary for it.<\/p>\n

Resin to be used <\/strong>
\nMany kinds of raw material are frequently used, such as PC, PC+ABS, ABS, PS, HIPS, Nylon, Material with glass or fiber filled suitability and price different of them are different. More importantly, the shrinkage rate is different, which is key factor to measurement and tolerance precision.<\/p>\n

Draft on all surface<\/strong>
\nDraft angle is a necessary for part release from mold cavity, but it will change the appearance of the original product design slightly. It should run through by both the mold manufacturer<\/a> and designer.<\/p>\n

Thickness design<\/strong>
\nRib thickness should be around 60% wall thickness, avoid uneven wall thickness, avoid thin wall area as much as possible.<\/p>\n

Gating way <\/strong>
\nGate location selection sometime is critical when the part have high requirement on surface finish. What kind of gate determines the way to produce and even the mass production cost.<\/p>\n

Mechanical structure\/Parting line <\/strong>
\nIt’s necessary to give a brief introduction of the mold design<\/a> mechanical structure employed, such as sliders, lifters etc. Make sure the parting line is accepted.<\/p>\n

Finish and engraving <\/strong>
\nDefine the finish of the part surface, it could have many kinds of finish on one part. Define where would be the engraving and contents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
