Kami telah menulis FAQ Perkakas Cetakan Injeksi kecil ini untuk menangani beberapa pertanyaan umum yang kami tanyakan tentang proyek perkakas cetakan injeksi. Kami akan menambahkan ke daftar saat kami memasukkan mereka. Mohon jangan melihat ini sebagai upaya untuk menunda siapa pun, kami hanya ingin memastikan bahwa kami adalah perusahaan yang tepat untuk pelanggan potensial kami dan sebaliknya, mana yang lebih baik untuk semua orang.
Kecuali Anda menguji suatu bagian, membuat prototipe sesuatu, atau bagian Anda sangat kecil (beberapa gram), pencetakan 3D bukanlah proses produksi. Ini tidak mungkin berubah untuk waktu yang cukup lama.
Kami hanya bekerja dengan perkakas produksi yang cenderung tidak di bawah £ 3500 untuk sebagian besar kebutuhan. desain (bisa mencampur warna).
Injection moulding tooling can make multiple parts per cycle. A 4 impression tool makes 4 parts every cycle – often taking little or no extra time from a 1 impression tool. If you’re making lots of parts, then you want to get a multiple impression tool made because the part price is primarily made up from the cost of the material and the time it takes to make it. More impressions = less machine time = less cost. The extra impressions can cost extra but often that extra cost can be absorbed in the savings made over a year on the part price. Hint, if you’re only planning on getting 500 parts made, you’ll go for a 1 impression tool, if you’re planning on 20,000 parts you’ll almost certainly want a multiple impression tool (8, 16 +)
As a production company we’re not really kitted out for small runs like this. If it’s an ongoing job we’d be happy to consider it but if it’s a one-off it’s unlikely we’ll accept the work as we just don’t have the resources to deal with small batches. On smaller quantities the setup of the machine (tool change, material purging, material drying, testing etc) is absorbed into the part price, so often it’s not really worth your while getting less than a thousand parts made anyway. There are other companies that are better suited to deal with this setup and I hope you don’t feel upset with us if we say no to the project!
Right now, we’re not set up to work as design for manufacturing consultants on our customer’s projects. We will offer advice to our customers if we see there are some issues that are obviously wrong with the part, but we do not accept responsibility for any extra tooling costs involved if you’ve not design your part properly for manufacturing.
