Design Review & Consultation

 Evaluate mold architecture, component design, mechanical function, shutoffs, alignment, ejection, and serviceability to identify potential manufacturing or performance concerns.

 Assess part geometry, wall thickness, draft, undercuts, tolerances, and other design characteristics that influence manufacturability and tooling complexity.

 Review gate locations, runner configurations, filling characteristics, and potential processing limitations. Utilize SOLIDWORKS Plastics simulation where appropriate.

 Evaluate cooling circuit design, temperature distribution, thermal efficiency, and potential contributors to cycle-time or dimensional issues.

 Identify potential wear points, component accessibility concerns, critical spare requirements, and design features that may affect long-term tooling reliability.

 Evaluate proposed modifications for technical feasibility, potential unintended consequences, manufacturing requirements, and impact on existing tooling performance.
