One of the great things about injection molding is how it can support the manufacturing of high-volume programs creating unique parts. But what about when these pieces need to be conjoined to create a multifaceted component.
That’s when plastic injection molding assembly services come into play, and for lab equipment, these assembly services can increase the market readiness of your products. But how?
Triad Plastic Technologies answers the question by highlighting why assembly services increase market readiness, the benefits of increased market readiness, and some considerations to make.
Why Market Readiness is Sped Up
One of the primary goals for manufacturers and their customers is to introduce the components into the market faster than the competition. This doesn’t mean quality is sacrificed for speed, however, and that’s why plastic injection molding assembly services play a role when multiple components need to be placed into one product.
When assembly services are performed by your manufacturer, there are fewer suppliers involved in the supply chain and the program itself. This means fewer setbacks in tooling, molding, secondary operations, and any other builds. Assembly services don’t have to simply be joining multiple parts into one. Screws, springs, seals, filters, and even electronics can be incorporated so the end results are closer to end use.
Injection molding already supports the manufacturing of complex parts and intricate shapes, which moves lab equipment faster from development stages to production, to assembly, and ultimately, into the market.
Benefits
Achieving improved market readiness means unlocking the benefits that come with it. For lab equipment that’s undergone plastic injection molding assembly operations, this entails a few different items.
Components can be built consistently and backed by reliable testing along with logistics being at scale. Assembly consolidates parts which really reduces additional assembly steps and can lower the number of failures in the final device.
Considerations
If your team knows that your lab equipment is going to have to undergo plastic injection molding assembly operations, there are a few considerations to make prior to any manufacturing taking place.
Incorporate assembly operations, along with manufacturing operations, into the design. When the design accounts for assembly services, the speed advantage and achieving market readiness are more secured as part geometry, material selection, and joining methods are already planned out and the risk of changes or rework are drastically reduced.
