ENGINEERING & TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Free DFM & Moldflow Engineering Before Steel Cutting

Every part file is reviewed by engineers with 15+ years in precision mold making. We return practical, geometry-specific recommendations β€” not a generic checklist β€” within 24 hours.

Four DFM Checks We Run on Every Drawing

Moldability & Parting Line

Part orientation, split position and parting line placement reviewed against cosmetic surfaces, flash visibility and mold complexity.

Draft, Wall & Radius Verification

All vertical faces checked against required draft (0.5–2Β° plus texture allowance), wall uniformity for sink and warpage, and fillet radii for stress and tool wear.

Moldflow & Gate Optimization

Fill simulation for weld lines, air traps and short shots; gate location and runner balance tuned for your resin and target cycle.

Tolerance & Cost Feasibility

Unnecessary tight tolerances and finishes flagged with cost impact, and achievable limits confirmed against our Β±0.005 mm machining standard.
