ALNO Guidelines to Injection moulding (Part 2)

Wall thickness

The wall thickness of injection-moulded parts needs to be observed properly to avoid potential problems such as leaving sink marks and letting your part warp.  At ALNO we recommend different thicknesses depending on the material you are using and the eventual use of your final product. 

Surface finish

The finishes available to you at ALNO product services vary according to you intended use and can range from all ranges of cosmetic finishes, EDM or higher-end finishes.

Radii

ALNO uses an automated CNC milling process to create the mould for your parts.  However, some part edges will end up with a radius rather than a sharp corner or edge. This does not typically involve the need to change a model, but the designer should be aware of these before moulds are made. 

ALNO product services manufactures all your parts locally in our workshop on the New South Wales Central Coast.  We provide innovative solutions and high-speed solutions so contact us today for a quote.

Planning to product: CNC machining process

A guide on the CNC machining process from planning to product.

At our company we take our client’s projects very seriously and we always strive for excellence. That’s why our process guidelines from planning to end product is so important. Our process is detailed and ensures both customer satisfaction and ease of manufacture.



Step 1. CAD drawing of final design is submitted to us


Step 2. A code for CNC machine is prepared


Step 3. The newly created code is uploaded onto the machine and start up tests are conducted


Step 4. A trial run is conducted to minimise losses and faulty parts


Step 5. We manufacture your final product


Step 6. We deliver your new product and provide ongoing support to ensure you are satisfied



Unlike manual manufacturing, CNC machines are capable of building all sorts of unique 3D shapes. The key attributes of repetition and pattern work guarantees precision in products made of both metal and plastic.

How to manage design projects: Part 1

Establish a list of aims

Whether your end goal is huge is small what you want to achieve needs to be decided fairly early so you can budget and also confirm with other stakeholders (e.g. your team, client, approving bodies, etc.)

Budget

If this is fairly small scale perhaps deciding a limit to your spend will suffice.  However, as the project size increases you will need to budget by milestones and decide how much time and money will be required to fulfil the required outcomes. 

Consider an outline

Writing an outline or project abstract is key in the early stages to make sure that all affected stakeholders can come to a consensus on where the project should go.  Reading a simple outline make people (stakeholders, clients, etc.) aware of the key points which they can then agree upon.

Decide on your team

Who is your team?  Know exactly what sort of internal and external (outsourced) team members you need.  Understand that scale of your project and choose the right people creative or technical for your project.  If you make this process transparent and notify all associated members early on there will be better communication within your team.

What management tools will you use?

What sort of tools will you use for project management in particular? Again for small projects this may not be that much of a concern but or larger scale projects you need to know your chosen tools as well as who you will consult for creative solutions and manufacturing advice.  You also need to understand the interface of your selected manufacturer and client so that across all platforms there will be one system throughout.
