Molding rewards drafts, walls, and decisions made early.

The Challenge

Design the geometry for the tool you will actually cut, and treat that tool as a way to buy a repeatable shape, not as a way to finish the product. Freeze the draw direction, the resin family, the cosmetic map and every undercut before steel is committed.

The sums below are hypothetical teaching maths. They are not BrahmWorks fees, not tool quotes, not yields and not timelines. A moulder’s number replaces them the day you have a revision and a resin grade.

Description

This Insights guide explains Injection Molding Design for founders and engineering teams building hardware that must be manufactured, tested, and handed off. The sums below are hypothetical teaching maths. They are not BrahmWorks fees, not tool quotes, not yields and not timelines. It also covers what the tool is, and is not, buying; what to keep from the printed prototype; the pack a moulder can quote against.

The Outcome

The tool's job is written: what these shots are allowed to prove, and what they are not. Draw direction, parting line and draft are in the model, or explicitly still open. Resin family is named. Grade and colour sample are named or listed as open.
