We hope you’ll want to learn more about how Ferriot can support your new product innovation (NPI) efforts. The earlier in the development process that we are engaged with NPI, the better the finished product and the shorter the time to market.
Call us with your innovative ideas for transforming — and economizing — the products and equipment of tomorrow.
Ferriot uses a global portfolio of mold builders to satisfy our customers’ needs. Based on part geometry, complexity, and many other factors, Ferriot will work with you to develop the best injection mold sources for your program. Molds will come to Ferriot for qualification and production once they have been built and have passed preliminary testing.
Call us at any stage of product development. Ferriot can help take innovation to market.
Injection molding for manufacturing is one of the most cost-effective ways to go. Other considerations include plastic part durability and longevity, customer and client satisfaction, part tolerances and overall labor costs. Read More
Take the time to answer the following questions before you attempt to design molds for injection molding; How will the part be used? How will this component integrate with other parts in the final assembly? What kinds of loads and pressure will it be subjected to?Read More
A part’s features must be reviewed carefully in terms of how the resin material enters and fills the mold cavity, as well as how the material cools while in the mold. An experienced tool design engineer understands how to control mold temperature and cooling rate process optimization. This critical step will help to optimize cycle times, reduce stress in the part and prevent various physical and cosmetic defects. The result is a stronger part that is easier to manufacture.Read More
The gate’s design, location, and type have important effects on the final part, including packing, gate vestige, dimensions, warping, and overall cosmetic appearance. Two types of gates are used in injection molding: manually trimmed and automatically trimmed.Read More
Virtually everything with an electrical signal causes some level of EMI or RFI interference, proper shielding for injection molded component parts is necessary to meet regulatory requirements as well as ensure continued, reliable performance.Read More
With injection molding, a variety of factors affect a part’s final cost, including part design, production time, the temperature and pressure used, and the type of plastic resin chosen. However, there are bigger issues to consider long before your part is in the mold. Following some industry best practices will go a long way toward minimizing your part costs without compromising your design goals.Read More
