Manufacturing Process Design (MPD) focuses on the development or improvement of the manufacturing elements: equipment, processes, operations, and work cells. We accomplish this in two ways:

     1.    Design of the molding process
     2.    Design of the work cell

The modern injection molding machine is able to control a vast array of parameters, e.g., pressures, speeds, temperatures, positions, timing of events, and sensing of events. The design of the process to utilize these capabilities should result in a very cost effective outcome. Without good design, however, costs are increased, materials are wasted, and part quality can be compromised.

Once a good part is molded, finishing the work may be as simple as packaging the part or as complicated as a set of value added operations to further manufacture, assemble, decorate, and label. The work cell design, including custom fixtures, is critical to a cost effective result.
