Design Feasibility for Manufacturing | DFM

Key Features to be Taken Care

Design for Manufacturability (DFM) is an essential aspect of injection mould development at Hongyi JIG Rapid Technologies. Our Director, Jagdeep Khattar, emphasizes the importance of conducting a thorough DFM analysis as it directly impacts the quality, efficiency, and cost of the final product.

During the DFM analysis, our team separates the mould into individual parts by extracting the core and cavity. This step enables us to identify potential problems, such as unwanted flash or difficulty in removing the part from the mould.

We also carefully determine the detailed parting line, which is the line separating the two halves of the mould. The direction of angular or side core plays a crucial role in the DFM analysis as it affects the strength of the mould and the flow of the plastic into the part.

Another essential factor in the DFM analysis is the gate and runner location. Our team at Hongyi JIG Rapid Technologies carefully chooses between a hot or cold gate, which impacts the flow of the plastic and the quality of the part. Additionally, the cooling circuit proposal is critical as it affects the cooling time and the dimensional accuracy of the part.

At Hongyi JIG Rapid Technologies, we ensure that ejector pins are positioned correctly to remove the part from the mould without interfering with it or the mould. We also conduct a draft or undercut analysis to ensure that the part can be easily removed from the mould and to prevent unwanted flash formation. The engraving and sub-insert witness line proposal is another crucial factor that determines the location of engraving on the part and the alignment of sub-inserts.

Conducting a comprehensive DFM analysis at Hongyi JIG Rapid Technologies is crucial in ensuring the success of an injection mould development project. By taking into account all the key factors mentioned above, we optimize the design for the manufacturing process, resulting in a faster, more efficient, and cost-effective production run.

Overall, our team at Hongyi JIG Rapid Technologies, led by Director Jagdeep Khattar, is dedicated to providing the highest quality injection mould development services. We conduct a comprehensive DFM analysis to ensure that the design is optimized for the manufacturing process, resulting in a faster, more efficient, and cost-effective production run.
