Customer Case Studies

First of all, in the case of plastic molded products, the weight of the product is the most important factor in determining the estimated price. However, as shapes to be molded are becoming more complicated recently, accurate weight cannot be calculated only with 2D drawings. There is also a case where customers tend to emphasize prices, so price negotiation becomes difficult if the calculation basis remains unclear. Next, in the past, as it was only done by the manufacturer, recently there are increasing cases that you have to confirm here whether the product meets the requirement for molding with a mold or not, especially undercut. It is necessary to grasp properly such as existence or not. When it became a complicated shape, it was difficult to see the structure and details of the product in the 2D drawing.

More than anything, we can now calculate weight accurately and quickly. Even though we had figured out from actual results of parts of similar shape and calculations on desk, we have halved it in time. In addition, as the structure such as the cross section of the product can be seen in detail by the clipping function, it helps to grasp the undercut shape. Until now, there was something only known at the mold design stage, so it took time to negotiate and adjust between the manufacturer's product designer and the mold maker, but now we can grasp it in advance at our company. By doing so, times are reduced by approximately 50%. In addition, if you know the parts that are problematic in terms of forming requirements at the initial stage of design, you can also review the design or review the mold structure before you can offer it to the customer.
