Our integrated prototyping and product development services bring any potential issues to light, while also providing rapid turnaround for redesigns and new product iterations.<\/p>\n

Equally as important is our 40+ years of experience in manufacturing injection molded products<\/a> for many different industries and unique applications. Elite\u2019s engineering experts know a good product design when they see one, we know how to quickly spot all of the common issues, and we know how to address them with a more robust, manufacturable, and\/or cost-effective solution.<\/p>\n

The Most Common Design Issues and Mistakes for Injection Molded Plastics:<\/h2>\n

Obviously custom injection molding is a complex process. The quality and repeatability of the end product requires extremely careful consideration in product design, material selection, and production processes. Addressing the following common design issues helps ensure overall part quality while also improving manufacturability and potentially reducing your production costs.<\/p>\n

Part Warping<\/h3>\n

Warpage happens when different sections of the molded part cool at different rates, causing the plastic to bend or warp. There are several ways we attempt to minimize part warpage:<\/p>\n
