Tech@Lunch November - From design to quote: accelerating injection moulding decisions

An online portal for fast and effective manufacturability evaluation of injection molded products

Moving from product design to injection moulding production often involves a lengthy quotation process, with multiple iterations between designers and injection moulding companies to align material choices, manufacturability, and production costs. These factors are closely interconnected and require effective collaboration to achieve a successful, cost-efficient product design.

To support this process, Flanders Make is developing an innovative web-based platform that digitalises and accelerates manufacturability assessment and quotation preparation for injection moulded products. The platform provides a shared digital environment where designers and injection moulders can evaluate key design decisions early in the development process, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth communication and enabling a more "first-time-right" approach.

During this Tech@Lunch session, we will present a prototype of the portal and demonstrate how it can:

• Support designers in selecting suitable materials for their application.
• Evaluate product designs for manufacturability based on injection moulding best practices.
• Generate valuable input data for faster and more accurate quotation preparation.
• Facilitate collaboration between designers and injection moulders through a common digital platform.

By reducing the time required to prepare quotations and identify design issues, the platform helps injection moulding companies improve their competitiveness while enabling designers to bring products to market faster and with greater confidence.
