Family mold layout should consider not only cavity balance and filling, but also robot picking stability after ejection. Learn how part placement affects automated production.
A mold design should not only look correct on the drawing. It must also be practical to machine, assemble, try out, adjust, maintain, and run repeatedly in production. At Jeancen Mold, our senior tool
A heavy-duty nylon part used in a wet environment should not be treated as a simple "build the mold and test later" project. In this case, Jeancen helped an Australian hardware customer reduce materia
Many injection molding projects do not fail because the product idea is bad. They fail because important project requirements were not clarified before tooling started. A plastic part may have a compl
Complex plastic parts increase mold cost not because of size, but because of undercuts, machining difficulty, narrow process windows, and long-term maintenance risk. Learn what drives tooling cost bef
A plastic part may look correct in CAD, but real production stability is only proven through mold trial, process control, and ramp-up validation. A plastic part can look correct in CAD — but still fai
In precision injection molding, a part can pass standard dimensional checks and still fail during assembly. This is one of the most frustrating problems for automotive projects. The T1 samples may loo
Insert molding looks simple when viewed from the finished part. A metal insert is placed into the mold, plastic is injected around it, and the final component combines the strength or function of meta
Some injection molded parts look simple on the outside, but become extremely difficult once optical, cosmetic, and tooling requirements are combined. This automotive lighting project was one of those
Why 30% of Automotive Light Guides Fail: Mastering "Optical Tooth" Accuracy in PMMA Molding Introduction: The "Dim End" Problem We recently audited a failed project for a Tier-1 automotive supplier. T
