Design And Prototyping
Design and prototyping are crucial steps in the process of creating plastic injection products. The design phase involves creating a 3D model of the product and determining the specifications, such as size, weight, and strength. The design team will also consider factors such as manufacturability, cost, and ease of assembly during this stage. This phase is critical as it sets the foundation for the final product and any errors or oversights during the design stage can be costly to fix later.
Once the design is finalized, a prototype of the product is created. This allows the team to test and evaluate the product's design and functionality. The prototype can be used to test the product's performance under different conditions and to make any necessary adjustments to the design. The prototype can also be used to test the product's fit and finish, and to test the tooling and manufacturing processes. The prototype may also be used for marketing and testing with target consumers. This step is crucial in ensuring that the final product meets all requirements and is ready for mass production.
