towmater Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It's not clear if you are asking for two different things, a 3d product modeler who understands mold flow, gates, draft, sinks, boss design, etc. and/or an injection molding company, which may or may not be also separate from a tooling design company. It is also not clear if you seek short-run, full production, and the typical material that you seek, ABS, polyethylene, etc. Someone who excels at one may not be great at another, i.e. a computer bezel designer would not be the ideal designer of a fluid container. Typically a 3D modeler will work in-house at an electronics company and use multiple 3D prints to determine fit with circuit boards and controls, as well as study texture options and colors/graphics. At the point of approval, the design data will be submitted to tooling designer and then a mold maker, then an injection molder, warehousing, packaging, and finally distribution. Most often today the phases beyond design will occur overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towmater Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The reason I asked about short-run is that a very small quantity, in the hundreds, will be cheaper to produce with rubber mold urethane castings vs. metal injection molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 http://raleighprecision.com I did find this place not too far from me! :-) That company looks decent. Bring them a sample shell, and see what they can do. Note that the Mattel shell as-is is fairly complex, so tell them you're open to changes that would make things easier/cheaper.
