Structural Engineering Validation

FEA stress simulation, wall thickness optimization, and demolding analysis before tooling begins.

02 Design & Engineering

Industrial Design, 3D Modeling & Structural Engineering

Our in-house design team transforms concepts into manufacturable 3D models. Every curve, draft angle, and parting line is engineered for silicone's unique molding behavior.

Concept Sketches & Mood Boards

Visual direction aligned with your brand DNA and target consumer.

Parametric 3D Modeling

High-fidelity CAD files, photorealistic renders, and client sign-off previews.

Multi-material Integration

Silicone + plastic + metal co-engineered assemblies with precise fit tolerances.

03 Manufacturing Planning

DFM, Quotation & Tooling Plan

Before any steel is cut, we deliver a comprehensive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) report. Transparent pricing, documented tooling strategy, and risk mitigation -- all on paper.

DFM Analysis Report

Comprehensive review of moldability, cycle time, parting lines, and ejection strategy.

  • Draft angle optimization
  • Flash & shrinkage prediction
  • Cost reduction suggestions

Transparent Quotation

Itemized pricing covering tooling, unit cost, secondary processes, and logistics.

  • Tiered MOQ pricing
  • Material cost breakdown
  • Payment term flexibility

Tooling Strategy

Mold design proposal with cavity count, steel grade, and lifecycle guarantees.

  • Hardened steel (300K+ cycles)
  • LSR / HTV mold configuration
  • 25-35 day tooling lead time

04 Validation Phase

Prototyping, Trial Molding & Sample Approval

Before mass production commits, every detail is verified. From rapid prototype to T1 trial shot, we iterate until your sample meets 100% approval.

Zero-Risk Approval Policy

Mass production never begins without your signed sample confirmation form.

Rapid 3D Prototype

3-5 days

SLA / SLS printed prototype for ergonomic review and dimensional validation before committing to steel.

T1 Trial Shot

Post-tooling

First samples from the actual production mold -- tested for dimension, hardness, and color accuracy.

Mold Adjustment Loop

T2 / T3

Fine-tune tolerances, surface finish, and parting lines based on your detailed feedback.

Signed Sample Approval

Gate ✓

Golden sample sealed, signed, and archived. Mass production is officially unlocked.

05 Process Validation

Pilot Production & Process Validation

A controlled small-batch run validates every production parameter before scaling. We lock cycle times, curing profiles, and quality benchmarks that guarantee repeatable mass output.

What We Validate

Process Parameter Lock

Injection pressure & temperature Logged
Curing time & demolding cycle Logged
Shore hardness consistency Tested
Color & finish uniformity Verified
Secondary process compatibility Confirmed
Pilot Run Volume
100-500 units

Full-process trial run exposes any yield, cosmetic, or dimensional issues before mass production.

Yield Rate
98.5%+

First-pass approval across pilot batches.

Lead Time
7-10 days

From sample approval to pilot completion.
