It’s been a fun weekend, hasn’t it? Ok,Hinge Sensor, perhaps showing us case samples on a Friday, giving us a whole weekend to wait for answers from the factory, didn’t work out all that well. But information has surfaced in the last two days that gives us cause not to freak out. To fully understand what happened here, you need to fully understand injection moulding – which most of us don’t. That means it’s time for a ludicrous cake analogy. The chef has been asked to do some quick tasters. He knows the recipe,Cheap Pandora Bracelets, and he’s got a totally sweet oven. But in his rush to please us,Galactic Artifact – Release B,Sale Pandora Charms, the cupcakes came out a little sloppy. And although we asked for icing, he didn’t want to mix up a metric ton of the stuff for a handful of cakes.
Injection moulding facilities are designed to pump out units in the thousands. It’s not cost effective,Sale Sets, in fact it’s borderline impossible, to provide a showroom quality batch of seven units. The production line needs time to warm up. Settings need to be bumped on the fly. In a run of 10,000, the first handful are likely to be sub-par. Why then, were we shown panic-inducing photos of half-baked samples? Because we demand to see them, for better or worse. It’s the nature of this project, and it’s not always a picnic. What we need to understand (and we’re all learning this together) is that sample cases are not necessarily representative of what a large scale run will produce. This is why most companies don’t share such information.
Onward to some forum quotes, starting with some expert testimony from Madcad77.
From what I have seen of these new mouldings, your moulding company needs to run a small batch to validate thier parameters,Pandora Jewelry sale, things like mould temperature,Cheap Pandora New Products, injection pressures,Cheap Pandora Beads, cycle times etc.
These coupled with venting added in the correct positions (tiny modifications 1- 2 days max) will sort out your sinkages, short fills etc.
The greasy finish you mention is most probably due to excessive release agent used when running the mould for the first time (reduces the risk of the moulding sticking in the tool).
I have been designing plastic components for over 10 years now, and alot of your issues with Chinese moulding companies are well known,Sale Pandora Bracelets, regardless which company you chose over there, they just work diferently to us.
I am very optimistic though, when these parts are run to the correct production processes,Cheap Pandora Charms, perhaps with extra venting, your cosmetic issues will be resolved.

I tend to agree with you here since there has to be a reason for the way things are. I’m still up assembling units as I’ve made some promises for the week and I am noticing that several of the parts feel like they are almost dripping with grease (release agent). I even started wiping a few off. These came right out of the mold and into the shipping box.
