It is extremely important to have a great mould design to create high-quality plastic and achieve the desired results. Therefore, special attention is given to ensuring the quality and efficiency of the plastic mould construction process and the best solutions in implementation.
Working closely with the customers is also important to ensure all the fine details are considered throughout the plastic manufacturing process.
It is important to incorporate customer suggestions to benefit plastic production and ensure easy maintenance of plastic moulds. 3D modelling, 2D layout with AutoCAD, Mould Flow Analysis, and CNC programming are some of the most important parts of mould design.
It is an evaluation review that is performed on the internal plastic production process and customer requirements to optimize the mould design process. Moreover, its purpose is to find out the best solution to achieve the desired results.
DFM also includes customers reviewing the final design through part layouts and overall finishing. It is the responsibility of the plastic manufacturer to provide 2D and 3D mould designs to the customers and get their approval before continuing the production process.
The purpose of mould flow analysis is to find out the potential issues in the plastic mould. As a result, these defects can be resolved before the production process, and a significant amount of costs can be saved through proper testing and modifications.
Comprehensive product analysis and mould flow reports are essential to resolve the potential issues and also inform the customers about any flaws in their designs such as thickness, undercuts, type of the desired product, and other such requirements.
Once the design process is completed, it becomes important to evaluate the mould strength, cooling capacity, part line and make sure the end-product is consistent with customer requirements. Thorough testing leads to maximum customer satisfaction.
The raw material of the mould should also be thoroughly inspected before acceptance. The steel suppliers should also provide the steel quality certificate to show that high-quality material is used in mould production.
It is important to ensure the quality of the mould spare parts to ensure they meet the industry standards and customer’s requirements. Therefore, a detailed quality control process should be implemented to deal with such parts.
This process involves evaluating the overall quality of the products and ensuring that the progress of the project is according to the mould processing documents. It also includes providing weekly quality reports to the customers. Technicians make sure that every part of the manufacturing process, like the cooling system and spare parts, are working according to the industry standards.
Industry standards and procedure documents are the driving force behind physical processing and mould assembly control. It involves ensuring the quality and working of the guide pillars, angle lifters, ejector pins, connectors, and various other components.
The last step involves a thorough quality check and includes important documents like mould testing videos, a list of spare parts, and drawings before the final product is delivered to the customers.
