Tooling & Optimization
Echo Engineering and Ammex Plastics understand that before tooling up and sending your project into production, it is vital to review it with you to ensure manufacturability and meet your requirements.
Using the part and mold design, our engineers use SolidWorks and mold flow analysis to determine what modifications need to be made.
Our engineers will work with you every step of the way to review elements that will play a critical role, including:
- Material Selection
- Molding Method (example: Injection Molding vs. Compression Molding)
- Gate Locations & Material Flow
- Ejector Pin Locations
- Durometer
- Ergonomics
