6085 Strathmoor Dr., Suite 2A, Rockford, IL Manufacturing Feasibility Analysis Every new project begins with a manufacturing feasibility analysis. The part model is examined to ensure the part has sufficient amounts of draft so the part will release properly from the mold. Part features which could cause premature steel failure are identified and communicated to the client. Undesirable cosmetic issues are reviewed. 2D drawings and 3D model files are compared for compatibility. Modifications to the part model needed for manufacturability are reviewed and included in the quotation. All potential product design improvements are discussed with the client prior to starting the project. ftp.injecting.comftp.injecting.com

6085 Strathmoor Dr., Suite 2A, Rockford, IL ftp.injecting.comftp.injecting.com Tooling DFMEA Technical tool design review process is based on a tooling DFMEA. Every potential failure mode is identified and designed out. Process begins with the mold ready to load into the press and ends with good part in the box. Process considers press and process compatibility, mold integrity and reliability items, as well as all major mold systems and components.
