New product development requires coordination with the molding experts at SeaHawk and your engineering/purchasing team. There are several requirements to begin the process:
State-of-the-Art Compression, Transfer and Injection Molding Equipment.
- Provide a 3D model or 2D print to review
- Complete description of the environment the part will be used in
- Description of the device/application the rubber part will be used in
- Ability to revise dimensions based on moldability of the component – could provide cost savings
- Quality requirements
- PPAP
- CpK
- Cleanliness
- Tolerances on dimensions and flash
- Quantities required – this may affect the process used and the cavitation of the tooling
- If an insert is being over molded:
- 3D model or 2D print of insert
- Include type of material
- Need for sourcing of the substrate or customer supplied
- Time-line requirements
