OUR PROCESS
From Inquiry to Delivery
WHEN TO USE THIS
Challenges This Solves
Parts that cannot be molded
Undercuts, zero draft, unbalanced walls — flagged before steel is cut.
Over-engineering
Unnecessary tight tolerances and finishes add cost — we show where to relax them.
Gate marks on cosmetic surfaces
Gate location optimized against visible defects.
FAQ
Mold Design and DFM — FAQ
Is DFM feedback free?
Yes. For part drawings submitted through our inquiry form, DFM review and quotation are free within 24 hours.
What file formats do you accept?
STEP, IGES, STL, PDF and native CAD on request. 3D files speed up the review significantly.
Do you design the mold or just manufacture it?
Both. We provide complete mold design with mold flow analysis, or build to your existing design with DFM verification.
What does a DFM report include?
Manufacturability findings, mold layout, cavity recommendation, gate and runner plan, steel selection, lead time and quotation.
Can you help improve an existing part design?
Yes — we flag draft, wall thickness, radii and texture issues that add tooling cost, and suggest changes that save money without affecting function.
