Dorchase Engineering team has over 40 years experience in the mold industry and product development.
Mechanical design plays a critical role in ensuring that plastic parts are functional, durable, cost-effective, and manufacturable. A well-engineered design not only enhances the performance and longevity of the product but also optimizes the injection molding process, reducing defects, material waste, and production costs.
Ensures Structural Integrity & Performance
- Mechanical design determines a part’s strength, flexibility, and impact resistance based on load conditions.
- Properly designed ribs, fillets, and reinforcements help prevent warping and breakage.
- Material selection based on mechanical properties ensures suitability for specific applications (e.g., high-impact ABS for consumer products, heat-resistant PEEK for automotive parts).
3D Mold Design and Assembly
3D mold design and assembly play a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of plastic injection molding. By utilizing advanced 3D CAD modeling, manufacturers can visualize, simulate, and optimize mold designs before production, reducing errors and improving overall quality.Benefits of Mold Flow Analysis
Mold Flow Analysis
Mold Flow Analysis or MFA facilitates the flow of plastic, which allows you to elevate parts and mold design to produce products without compromising on the quality. Further, Mold Flow Analysis allows you to have a look at how the material that you have chosen, would fill the mold’s cavities. It also shows you the potential faults that can occur during or after the process.
The benefits of Mold Flow Analysis include:
- Helps in optimizing Gate location
- Increases efficiency and the quality as well
- Potential problem spots can be easily identified
- Speed of manufacturing is enhanced
- The cavities in the molds are filled evenly and smoothly
- Decreases the possibility of tooling errors
