Plastic Injection Molding Parts
For 39 years Quashnick Tool Corporation has developed a custom plastic mold for the who’s who of technology companies in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
Knowing what’s at stake when it comes to developing and maintaining quality plastic injection molds and the plastic injection molding parts produced is the secret to their continued success. They realize that when companies begin new designs of molded materials, significant corporate R&D, engineering, manufacturing, administrative and support resources are at stake. Any redundant or rework efforts will add cost, delay time –to- market, and may upset medical device trials and qualification.
With this reality in mind they work with you to look as far ahead as possible in foreseeing and side-lining potential pitfalls in a successful molding program. Quality Pros think of it as it “FEMA” in action. They do this specifically by drawing from their 39 years of experience, merging extensive design and materials experience, with state of the art corporate management and sophisticated engineering and project management skills.
Whether you are looking to work with extremely tight time lines, wish to minimize development risks, want to keep manufacturing local in the greater Bay Area, or you are looking to save costs by building tools at a qualified QTC offshore partner, it pays to have a well versed and professional organization shepherd you through the process.
They’ve delivered success for several hundred companies in the greater Bay Area since 1971. They will deliver success for you.
What is your approach to resolving medical tooling and molding problems?
Answer:
It must be discerned whether the problem is with the materials or the molding before heading towards a resolution. For example, if there is a problem with a plastic part that is due to flash, then it is considered a tooling issue. However, if it is a material that is degraded (i.e. cracking or breaking) in the process of obtaining the parts, then it is a plastic materials problem.
In addition, providing examples of the product or specific examples of where the failure occurs is crucial to analyzing the problem. If it is a tooling problem, the program itself must be reviewed. It should be determined whether the material being used for the tool production is feasible for the particular task. The molding procedures should be assessed as well to see if the process is being done correctly.
Initially, the plastic used in the plastic mold should be properly dried and prepped prior to molding. The molding manager needs the qualifications necessary to run a material through to completion and handle it accordingly. The tooling must be designed for and capable of running the material specified. This includes the appropriate temperature controls (cooling and heating) as well as other specifics related to the material. Clearly defining the problem leads to a more effective resolution.
