Packaging
While mold designer and mold maker work together to optimize the molds, marketing focuses on the layout of the packaging. Based on the layout of a punching tool given by the print shop, design...
Mold trial
The injection molding machines are prepared and the prototyping molds are mounted. First parts are produced based on the parameters given by the injection molding simulation earlier in the process....
Mold making
The ordered material for the mold frame and the inserts are available and milling can be started. Step by step all pieces for the prototype molds are created and assembled. High precision milling...
Mold design
For the hard and the soft component a prototype mold needs to be designed next. Even it is just for prototype parts a good cooling of the hard and soft component shall be ensured. So mold design and...
Injection molding simulation
The material for the hard and soft component of the mask has been discussed with material suppliers and is set.Now flow simulations can be done to identify possible problems upfront of real...
Air flow simulation
The CAD model is optimized in many steps and is ready for an air flow simulation. It is important to ensure a high velocity of the air while inhaling and exhaling through nose and mouth. Areas with...
Initial design in CAD system
After the sketches on paper the part needs to be created in a 3D CAD system. Based on a standard model of a human head, lines turn into surfaces to form a solid at the end. In this way a base for...
First idea
The news on television and on the radio makes it pretty clear. There is an increasing demand on masks to protect nurses, doctors as well as cashiers, bus drivers and many others. But what can you do...
