Our experience allows us to assist our
customers in product design for multi-shot molding.
Multiject optimizes the manufacturing method and
process a the time of product design to realize the advantages of "Quality
by Design".
Key to multi-material molding is
material selection. Whether your materials needs to bond or have relative
movement, we can assist in sorting out the many possibilities.
The application of "Design for
Manufacturability" (DFM), and "Design for Assembly" (DFA)
principles ensures that competitive advantages are embodied in the
product design. Part and assembly costs are to a large part set
by up-front design.
Part quality capabilities are also, to a large part, fixed by the up-front design.
Use of analytical tools such as Finite Element Analysis (FEM) and Mold Flow Analysis can be key to ensuring
product durability and manufacturability.
