Injection-Molded Plastic Part & Mold Design — Sketch to Production
A full-cycle project: from the initial design of the part based on the client's sketches to the launch of production.
Scope covered end-to-end, single-handed:
3D design and plastic part development based on the profile geometry
Design of a simplified injection mold
Mold manufacturing: milling and turning, CNC programming for the milling machine, guide pillars, bushings and ejector pins, bench/fitting work
Mold installation on the injection molding machine and first-shot trial runs
I carried out the entire process myself — design, tooling, machining, and mold trial — with no subcontracted steps.
