In House Tooling

In House Tooling

Over 28 years ago, Relucent Plastics understood the importance of having in house tooling capability to support our customers and our operation. Our mold design & engineering services reduce cost and time to part qualification. From prototype molds to high precision multi cavity molds, Relucent has the in house team to support and launch new products on time and within budget.

MOLD DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
  • Design for Manufacture (DFM)/Part Design Analysis performed on each part
  • Analysis and design control allow us to avoid costly delays due to tool tweaks and changes.
  • Our process identifies problem areas before tool design, not after. The adjustments also help optimize the tooling, molding, and quality of the finished product.
  • Moldflow simulation analysis to optimize part and tool design utilizing predictive analysis into warp, cavity fill, gate location, weld lines etc.
  • Identification and adjustment of these details assist our tool designers to design for a robust molding process window
