Resolve Your Part’s Risks Before Tooling
Select one of 6 features to see what we review for your design.
Protect Your Visible Walls
Review wall transitions, ribs and bosses to reduce sink-mark risk.
| Your input | CAD and marked cosmetic faces |
|---|---|
| Our review | Feature thickness and transitions |
Recommendations depend on your resin, geometry and tooling.
Release Your Part Without Damaging Its Features
Review the injection molding draft angle and side-action needs before approving the mold.
| Your input | Pull direction, texture and undercut features |
|---|---|
| Our review | Draft, tool access and release strategy |
Draft depends on wall depth, texture, material and tooling route.
Place Your Gate Around Your Functional Surfaces
Discuss flow paths and gate vestiges before they become an assembly or appearance issue.
| Your input | Visible faces, load paths and gate restrictions |
|---|---|
| Our review | Gate location, flow length and weld-line risk |
Simulation scope, if required, is agreed in your quotation.
Protect Your Assembly Fit
Review resin behavior, cooling and part geometry around your critical mating features.
| Your input | Datums, mating parts and working conditions |
|---|---|
| Our review | Shrinkage, distortion and relevant moisture effects |
Confirm the measurement state for your material and drawing.
Agree Where Mold Witness Marks Are Acceptable
Mark areas where parting lines and ejector witness marks could affect sealing, fit or appearance.
| Your input | Sealing faces and appearance acceptance |
|---|---|
| Our review | Parting line, ejector placement and handling |
Witness-mark acceptance must be agreed before sample approval.
Approve the Finish Your Customer Will See
Specify color and surface texture with reference samples and acceptance conditions.
| Your input | Color reference, texture and visible surfaces |
|---|---|
| Our review | Grade, pigment, texture and viewing conditions |
Texture may require additional draft. Approve your sample under agreed lighting.

Answers for Your Project
Can I change the resin and keep the same mold?
A resin change may affect shrinkage, flow and fit. Review the new grade and trial requirements before approving the change.
How are color and texture approved?
Provide the color reference and texture requirement. Agree viewing conditions and approve representative molded samples before production.
What if my drawing has tight tolerances?
Mark the critical features and datums. Review resin, geometry, conditioning and measurement method together; a blanket tolerance does not apply to every molded feature.
How are repeat-order changes controlled?
Identify the approved CAD revision, resin grade, color and sample. Agree how material, mold or process changes are reviewed and approved for the next order.
