Custom Mold Design Service
At Ferriot, we have the deep experience of designing and specifying the construction of injection molds with custom mold manufacturing. Because Ferriot also manufactures products by using those same molds, we have a vested interest in optimizing the design for manufacturability. Why does this matter? It’s because our productivity as a manufacturer and our ability to turn out superior products depends on optimal mold designs.
Yes, mold design is about 3D technology. But great designs still depend on experienced engineers and technicians who intuitively know the configurations that will result in best design practices and best custom mold manufacturing practices to produce finished products engineered for ideal performance in both functionality and durability. Conversely, these same engineers and technicians can spot trouble before it happens.
Whether it’s a softer-textured finish, an adequate draft so that a part can be ejected without drag marks or the rigidity that can withstand 200-mile-an-hour winds, Ferriot’s team of veterans add instincts to professional knowledge. That results in innovation.
For example, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of gas pumps wanted to convert the metal parts on the boot of a gasoline nozzle to a thermoplastic component. Ferriot engineers helped the OEM develop an innovative thermoplastic alternative that resists gas vapors — allowing the OEM to save money without sacrificing functionality.
The secret ingredient is really the hand of the engineer who invents new solutions and sees them to production.
Ferriot engineers, in this case, helped set in motion a new course for the production of gasoline pumps.
