General questions about injection molding capabilities before submit a quotation

Engineer asked May 23,2024

Hello,

We are a startup looking to develop an electronic lock and need a company to create the molds and plastic parts. Our product will be used on garbage containers, so it must be resistant to water and high-pressure cleaning. Therefore, we decided to use sonic welding for the casing to prevent water ingress.

We would like to request a quote for the molds and plastics, but first, I would like to know:


  • Do you provide DFM (Design for Manufacturing)? Although the product is finished, some adjustments may be necessary for the molds due to thickness and other factors.
  • Do you perform sonic welding? Have you made any products with sonic welding that contain electronics? Could they be affected?
  • Since the product will be sealed, do you assemble the product before sonic welding?
  • Do you have temporary storage for the manufactured products?
  • Is it possible to conduct waterproofing tests before mold fabrication, for example, by 3D printing and performing a sonic welding test?
  • Do you have RoHS and REACH certificates?


I am attaching an image of the product for your reference.


Thank you very much in advance.


Best regards
