This anonymous case study shows how Plastic Make Co reviews and supports a custom electronics enclosure project from drawing review through mold trial, sample approval, production inspection, and export packing. The buyer needed a molded plastic housing for an electronic control product with stable assembly, clean surface appearance, and reliable screw fastening.
Project Snapshot
- Part type: two-piece electronics enclosure with internal ribs and screw bosses.
- Material: ABS or PC-ABS considered during review, final selection based on impact and appearance requirements.
- Process: injection mold making, T1 samples, threaded insert review, production molding, inspection, and packaging.
- Key concerns: boss strength, internal clearance, surface texture, gate mark location, and fit between upper and lower shells.
DFM Review Points
Before tooling, we reviewed wall thickness, rib height, screw boss design, internal clearance for the electronic board, parting line position, gate location, ejector mark areas, and visible surface requirements. The goal was to reduce sink marks near bosses and keep visible surfaces clean enough for the buyer’s product presentation.
Mold and Sample Follow-Up
During T1 sample review, the buyer checked assembly fit, screw fastening, surface texture, and internal component clearance. Correction notes were organized around functional items first, then cosmetic items. This helped keep the tooling discussion practical instead of turning into a vague visual review.
Inspection and Packing
Production inspection focused on appearance, assembly fit, screw boss condition, insert position if used, key dimensions, color consistency, and packaging protection. Photos and inspection notes can be shared before shipment so overseas buyers have better visibility before goods leave the factory.
