Part Feasibility & Molding Assessment
Full Draft & Tooling Feasibility Studies Draft analysis and mold ability studies have proven to save valuable time and money. With input from the tool manufacturer early in the program, problem areas for molding as well as molding methods can be introduced for optimum tooling and production requirements. This can have a direct effect on piece price.
Engineering and Design… Design functions are:
- Data management - Feasibility study
- Part comparison - Draft analysis
- Part warp - Moldflow and Manifold
- Product design - Mould design
