“Customers are often looking forward to the ‘FOT moment,’ as we call it,” says Quinten. “That makes sense, when you consider the process leading up to it. From conducting market research to presenting – sometimes hundreds – conceptual designs to potential users. Eventually, only one design is chosen. Our injection moulding experts then assess the manufacturability of the design during the DFM process. This assessment will reveal any necessary optimisations, e.g. pertaining to ventilation, part lines, markings, and connection points. We utilise our expertise to achieve an optimal result together with the customer.”
