Boosting Product Development Success with Early Supplier Collaboration

The Advantages of Our Early Supplier Involvement

The development of injection-molded products involves complex processes and material science. ESI (Early Supplier Involvement) can help identify and address potential technical issues, reducing the risk of development. By closely collaborating and communicating during the product design stage, we ensure that our technical engineering team fully understands the product design concept and target cost. We provide suggestions regarding materials, processes, and costs, develop detailed production process plans and procedures, and implement quality control measures to guarantee the quality of the final product.

Material Selection and Optimization

The quality of plastic molded products is largely dependent on the plastic materials used. During the ESI phase, our engineering team can participate in the material selection process from the early stages of product design. We can share our expertise on the performance, cost, and processability of different plastics to help the development team select the most suitable materials for the product requirements.

Design Feasibility Assessment

The design of plastic products is closely related to mold design. We can provide feasible design suggestions to avoid overly complex designs that increase production difficulty, ensuring that the design is viable in terms of mold fabrication and injection molding processes. Considering production factors at the design stage can prevent unnecessary modifications, reduce mold modifications and material waste due to improper design, thereby lowering costs.

Mold Design and Fabrication

The design and fabrication of injection molds are critical steps in the development of injection-molded plastic parts. ESI ensures that the mold design meets the requirements for production efficiency and product quality, reducing the need for subsequent modifications and adjustments, and ultimately lowering costs.

Improving Production Efficiency

The expertise of GV MOLD in injection molding processes can help optimize production flows and enhance efficiency. For example, we can advise on product design to reduce cycle times or on mold optimization to improve part ejection.

Product Development Process

We manage the product development process from initial concept through to the completion of the end product.

NDA:

A non-disclosure agreement could be signed to protect your intellectual property,

RFQ:

Please send us an inquiry with the part 2D/3D drawings, samples, or ideas.

Quotation:

Price and suggestion would be offered after evaluation and analysis.

Prototype:

Sample for verification purpose can be produced using methods such as 3D printing, vacuum silicone mold casting, or CNC machining etc. We will communicate with the client to determine optimal solution.

Project Documentation:

DFM report will be compiled to confirm technical details. MFA may be supplied to identify potential risks as needed. Additionally, 3D mold drawings will be provided.

Mold making:

Tooling will be made in-house.

Mold test:

Upon completion of the mold, we will proceed with a mold trial.

Inspection:

We will perform an internal inspection of the sample and submit samples to the client for quality assessment.

Optimization:

We will address any issues based on the client's feedback to enhance the product quality.

Production:

We will schedule mass production subsequent to receiving the client's approval.

Secondary processes:

We specialize in tailor-made product surface treatments, which include but are not limited to pad printing, silk screening, ultrasonic welding, laser etching, painting, chrome plating, powder coating, and heat staking.
