Design for Manufacture
UTP Solutions has extensive experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for plastic injection molding. Good molding design should be incorporated early in the part development process.
Typical analysis includes:
Nominal wall thickness analysis
Draft angle analysis
Parting line placement
Knit line analysis
Thick areas prone to sink
Ejector pin placement
Molding simulation software, such as Autodesk Moldflow can provide a flow analysis, identify areas prone to sink, and a warp analysis.
We can develop your Injection Molding process using Scientific Injection Molding (SIM) Principles.
Using this approach we help our customers optimize for:
Cycle Time
Defect Rate
Scrap Rate
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
Material Utilization Efficiency
Product and Process Consistency (CpK/PpK)
Our Team characterizes your material, optimizes fill, pack, hold, and cooling, collects data and controls your process to ensure your needs are met.
Our team frequently consults with others in our industry to help with difficult tooling and process development to reduce defects and optimize processes.
