PROJECT BACKGROUND

A rapidly-growing European medical device firm was looking for a partner for their high-end eye diagnostics device. Annual demand for this product is hundreds of units, with a design that could require modifications in order to respond to the changing market needs.

CHALLENGES

1. How to select the most suitable manufacturing solution to meet the customer's needs?
2. How to attain the accuracy, exact heptagon structure and hole position?
3. How to achieve the Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) effect without affecting appearance?
4. How to ensure high quality and launch the product as early as possible?

RPWORLD SOLUTIONS
1. Process Selection?Combine urethane casting, injection molding, CNC and 3D printing. (Traditional injection molding would require 2 to 4 months, cost over $100,000 and not permit major design changes once the mold has been made.)

2. Produce fixtures and gauge tools to ensure accurate hole location, tolerances and final assembly.

3. Cooper painting on the interior surface to achieve the EMC effect.

5. Customized Packing Solution: Designed by our engineering department for protection during shipment.

6. Engineering analysis and design optimization.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS
1. With RPWORLD vacuum casting solution, the production time was reduced by 50%, we delivered 25 set in 4 weeks.
2. Production cost was only 20%~30% of traditional tooling solution.
3. Long term product development partner.
4. Clients enjoyed smooth prototype testing and saved a lot of time and cost in R&D.
5. All production, after-treatment and pre-assembly was provided by a single supplier, RPWORLD, which greatly reduced project risk.
6. Close communication and professional coordination ensured high quality and launching schedule.
