Injection Molding Case Study: 5 Day Tooling & Low Cost Production for a US Customer
How Manufyn supported an international customer with rapid injection molding tooling development, production, inspection and packaging from India.
From tooling development to production, managed through one manufacturing partner
A US based customer approached Manufyn for the development and production of a precision injection molded ring component. The requirement combined rapid tooling development, consistent part production, inspection and packaging.
Rather than coordinating multiple suppliers for tooling, molding, inspection and packaging, the project was managed through Manufyn’s manufacturing network in India.
The result was a tooling development cycle of just 5 days, followed by production at a piece rate of $0.06 per part, including manufacturing, inspection and packaging.
A streamlined injection molding workflow
Manufyn coordinated the manufacturing workflow from tooling development through final packed production parts.
Tool Development
Injection molding tooling was developed and completed within a 5 day development window.
Injection Molding
The developed tooling was used for production of the required molded ring component.
Inspection
Production parts were inspected as part of the manufacturing scope before dispatch.
Packaging
Packaging was included within the piece rate, providing a consolidated manufacturing solution.
Speed without adding unnecessary supplier complexity
For international buyers, supplier coordination can become a major part of the manufacturing process. Manufyn acts as the procurement and manufacturing coordination layer between the customer and Indian manufacturing partners.
Requirement Received
Customer requirement and production expectations were reviewed.
Tooling Development
Injection molding tooling was developed within the 5 day target.
Production
Parts were manufactured using the developed injection molding tool.
Inspection & Packaging
Inspection and packaging were completed as part of the production scope.
A manufacturing model designed around total delivered cost
The project combined low tooling investment with a highly competitive production price, while keeping manufacturing, inspection and packaging within the quoted piece rate.
What the customer received
The project demonstrates how international customers can use Manufyn as a single manufacturing coordination point for injection molding requirements in India.
Instead of managing tooling, production, inspection and packaging independently, the customer had one manufacturing interface managing the overall requirement.
- 5 day tooling development
- $230 tooling cost
- $0.06 production price per part
- Manufacturing included in piece rate
- Inspection included in production scope
- Packaging included in production scope
- India based manufacturing support for a US customer
