Design engineers can help ask the right questions about your part or product to ensure you end up with the best results. They can help you determine your part's shape, how it can fit with other parts, areas where strength or flexibility are needed, and more. Finally, design engineers can ensure your part is actually moldable with injection molding techniques, or modify a part's design until it is and generate a prototype to test that design.
Selecting an appropriate plastic resin for your product can have a dramatic effect on many aspects of production, including material costs, production speed, tooling costs, and product appearance, flexibility, resistance, and durability. Additional factors may play a role in resin selection, including additives such as color, plasticizers, and antibacterials.
While there are countless parts and components you can design, each will require a mold to create it with injection molding techniques. In general, the more complicated the mold, the more expensive it is to machine. A design engineer can help you simplify your design to accomplish the same goals with reduced costs.
Failing to take advantage of the expertise and skills of design engineers in creating a part to be manufactured by injection molding can results in a number of undesirable factors, including:
