Brand identity, designed into the part

  • Signature surfaces: SPI/Mold-Tech textures, laser micro-textures, gloss-control, soft-touch overmold.

  • Colour that matches standards: Custom masterbatch to Pantone/RAL with ΔE tolerances and aging targets.

  • Logo & patterns: Steel-in relief/emboss, insert coins, laser mark, or IMD/IML for scratch-resistant graphics.

  • Lighting & optics: Light-pipes, halo rings, brand-colour LEDs, and diffusion control for consistent luminance.

  • Touch & sound: Tactile ribs/knurls, detent feel, hinge torque, and controlled acoustic “clicks” for UX.


Performance that’s engineered—not guessed

  • Structural integrity: Ribs/bosses, living hinges, fibre-reinforced resins, FEA-informed wall schemes.

  • Environment & durability: UV/chemical/sweat resistance, abrasion class, IP dust/water ratings.

  • Thermal & electrical: Flame ratings (UL 94), CTI, dielectric spacing, heat-deflection/creep.

  • Fit & finish at scale: GD&T on CTQs, warpage control, cavity pressure monitoring for first-time-right builds.


Material quick-guide (brand × performance)

Goal Go-to options Notes
Premium clarity & toughness PC, COC/COP Add UV/impact grades; polish optics to spec.
Stiff + paint-free cosmetics ABS, PC-ABS Texture + colour masterbatch for paint elimination.
Wear/low friction POM (Acetal), PA + lubricated grades Great for mechanisms, clips, latches.
Outdoor/UV & chemical ASA, PA12, ETFE/PVDF For harsh environments and chemicals.
Soft-touch or sealing TPE/TPU (overmold) Design mechanical locks for peel resistance.

We recommend grade selection after environment/regs/colour testing.


DFM rules that protect brand & cost

  • Hide parting lines and gate vestiges behind logos/trim; plan ejector patterns off cosmetic zones.

  • Texture-aware draft: +1.5–3.0° on grained areas; set relief depths for crisp logos after etch.

  • Uniform walls (1.5–3.0 mm) to avoid sink/warp; use ribs instead of bulk.

  • Bosses & inserts: Standardise diameters/stand-offs; specify threaded brass/steel inserts where needed.

  • Tolerances: Lock datums with GD&T; reserve post-machining for microns-level features only.


Tooling & process strategy

  • Bridge tools → steel: Start fast with aluminium/MUD; scale via copy-cavity steel when demand lands.

  • Two-shot / overmold: Hard–soft, colour-split, or light-pipe integration for premium UX.

  • IMD/IML: Graphics under a hardcoat film for long-life cosmetics.

  • Scientific molding: V/P by pressure, cavity sensors, gate-freeze, and DOE to lock the golden recipe.

  • MES visibility: OEE, CpK, scrap, kWh/kg, genealogy—shareable for remote audits.


Validation & brand quality checks

  • Colour & gloss: ΔE/Gloss targets over aging (UV/heat/chemicals).

  • Surface durability: Taber abrasion, scratch/chemical wipe, sweat/oil tests.

  • Functional tests: Drop/torsion, latch life, IP ingress, noise/vibration.

  • Metrology pack: FAIR + CMM/scan, cosmetic map sign-off, and retain samples per revision.


Example timeline (pilot → ramp)

  • Day 0–2: 48-Hour DFM (flow/cool/warp, texture plan, risk log) → approve

  • Day 3–10: Tool build (Al/MUD) + texture/polish; colour masterbatch trial

  • Day 11–13: T0 in production resin; weight ladder + gate freeze; cosmetic tune

  • Day 14–15: T1 + FAIR + metrology; colour/gloss/ΔE report; ship FA parts

  • Day 16+: Copy-cavity proposal; optional two-shot/IMD upgrade for launch edition

Steel first? Plan Day 3–20/28 depending on cavitation/IMD/two-shot complexity.


RFQ checklist (copy/paste; it prevents rework)

  • Target T1/SOP dates and must-hit milestones.

  • Brand specs: Colour standard (Pantone/RAL), ΔE target, texture code (SPI/Mold-Tech), logo method.

  • CAD (STEP/IGES) + 2D with CTQs/GD&T; cosmetic map & gate/parting preferences.

  • Material options (UV/FR/food/medical/chemical), finish (paintless vs paint/coating).

  • Tooling plan: MUD/Al or steel; cavitation; slides/hand-loads; two-shot/overmold/IMD/IML.

  • Quality & tests: FAIR, CMM/scan, CpK targets; colour/gloss/aging, IP/impact/abrasion as needed.

  • Packaging & logistics: Label/brand standards, export pack, Incoterms; FA courier path.

  • Data access: MES dashboards (OEE, CpK, scrap, kWh/kg), lot genealogy.
