Plastic parts have a wide range of application in our daily life and industry. Injection molds is important tool for mass production of plastic parts. ACO Mold injection molding company has rich experience in providing one-stop plastic processing service of R&D, mold making, plastic injection molding, products assembly etc. Last month, we customized a set of injection mold for a swimming pool equipment supplier from NZ. The product is PVC grating.

Product information:

• Product name: PVC grating
• Plastic material: PVC+UV
• Color: White
• Production volume: 8K

Before DFM and mold making, ACO Mold should clearly understand requirements of customer:

1. The grating needs to be assembled and placed into the carton neatly for safety transportation
2. The material would be Long Life UV Resistant PVC.
3. They may need the grating every year, so the mould should be good so as to make high quality product.
4. Packing: Customer requires each box contains 5m of grating (10x 0.5m sections)
5. There are totally 6 holes- two round holes and four square holes. We cancel the four square holes as requested by customer. The two round holes is required to be leaved

Due to it is the first time to cooperate with ACO Mold injection molding company, customer is worried about the mold quality. But we cooperated with many product companies from different countries, and after cooperating with ACO Mold injection molding company in mold making and injection molding project, they are very happy and satisfied. We also get the good feedback from them. So we send the feedback of customer we cooperated ever to them. Then the initial trust is built between us. ACO Mold believes that the trust is the good start for our cooperation in mold making and injection molding project.

Customer only has 2D drawing, so we quoted based on the 2D drawing within 24 hours. After confirming the initial quotation, customer was trying to cooperate with injection molding company from China. And they have the following questions, which need our solutions. Questions are partly quoted as following:
“Our UV is very harsh here. How resistant is your plastic to UV?”
Solutions of ACO Mold injection molding manufacturer:
We can add UV additive to resistant to UV, and recommend 0.5% is available.

The question of big change in the exchange rate of RMB against USD is also mentioned by customer. We fully understand customer’s concern. Usually we lock the exchange rate to protect our customer’s benefit, which means no matter the exchange rate or the cost of my factory increase or decrease, we will not change the US dollar price, and our customer’s margin will not be influenced by these reasons during project. We have met this case last year, when the exchange rate decreased from 1:6.9 to 1:6.2, we did not request our customer to increase the price though we lost a lot of money.

Due to customer has no 3D drawing but only has sample, so we did 3D scanning based on sample. After 3D scanning, we send 3D scanning drawing to customer to check and comment. There is a small question. There are some dimension differences between the 2D drawing and the sample. So we need confirm with customer to know we need to make molds according to 2D drawing or the sample.

T1 samples are finished ahead of schedule. And we send T1 samples to customer for confirm. After receiving them, customer has a question that the spigot and socket is a little loose in comparisons to the older grating style. This would have an effect when people are walking on it as it might come apart. So it is required to have a tighter connection. After receiving feedback from customer, we modified it according to the older grating style and make it tight fitting. The new samples are finished in one week and send to customer for reconfirming. Feedback from customer is very well. Then we start large volume injection molding.
