HOW TO PICK A FACTORY !
!
!*THE MOST IMPORTANT MANUFACTURING DECISION YOU’LL MAKE
![Page 13: DFM Overview & Injection Molding - MIT - October 7, 2014](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558b3763d8b42ac9378b4622/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Overview of the CM Selection Process
http://en.wikipedia.org
1. Talk with trusted network connections who have manufacturing experience.
2. Create a differentiated list of 5 - 10 CMs.
3. Down select to 3 - 5 factories based on your product category (why?)
4. Create a Request for Quote (RFQ) Package.
5. Visit!
6. Analyze Results.
7. Negotiate Big Items.
8. Talk with the CM’s customers.
9. Select the winner, and leave the others on good terms.

POP QUIZ
• Question: What is the biggest challenge in manufacturing ?
![Page 19: DFM Overview & Injection Molding - MIT - October 7, 2014](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558b3763d8b42ac9378b4622/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

POP QUIZ
• Question: What is the biggest challenge in manufacturing?
• Answer: Communication! • You cannot design in a vacuum (even if you design
vacuums). Strong communication and teamwork skills are critical to success. Engineering is team sport. It’s all about the people. “Us” and “Them” won’t work.

Cost of Goods Sold
(COGS)
• Direct costs for goods produced. • Does NOT include Tooling. • Actual price depends on where a
company takes ownership: - Ex-Factory (XF) - FOB (add overland transport to
XF) - Landed (add shipping to FOB) - Inventory (add warehousing)
• Price will vary by date depending on running changes, transportation costs, currency exchange, commodity costs, etc.

COGS YOUR DESIGN
• Material and Component Selection
• Fabrication Method • Manufacturing Efficiency
(First Time Yield, machine tonnage, assembly labor, number of operations, etc.)
• Quality Requirements (driven by requirements / Voice of Customer)
• Packout (replaceable vs. rechargeable batteries; packaging; spares, etc.)
MANUFACTURING PARTNER • BOM Transparency • Profit Margin • Labor Rate • Currency • Geographic Location
(shipping, tariffs, etc.) • Capability (in-house vs.
outsourced) • Supply Chain (Purchasing
Power, volume (piggy back), Consigned vs Purchased, etc).

Controlling Costs
1.Deconstruct the BOM. 2.Separate special components. 3.Transparency 4.Compare to standards. 5.NegoEate Inclusions
![Page 27: DFM Overview & Injection Molding - MIT - October 7, 2014](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558b3763d8b42ac9378b4622/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Additional COGS Strategies
Cost
•Bill of Material Transparency: Require factories to provide an item by item costed BOM. No mysteries or hidden formulas.
•Calculate labor rates. Pop Quiz – How???
•Build a “Standard Cost” database. Price out cost reducJons.
•If Jme permits, develop relaJonships with mulJple vendors to avoid single source suppliers. Leverage is a beauJful word.
•When manufacturing in volume for a CE product, it is criJcal to understand and control COGS. Focus here! Because of the volume, every penny counts ($10k @ 1M units)

Schedule
•Many consumer products are driven by the Christmas (which has a fixed date). Plan conJngency in your schedule. Things never go according to plan.
Have an onsite presence. Track schedule carefully and take correcJve acJons early. Avoid: “There is never Jme to do it right the first Jme, but there is always Jme to do it again. ”

Quality•DefiniJons:
•Quality = Customer SaJsfacJon = Performance – ExpectaJons •“Fitness for Use” Incoming Quality Control: Use good ingredients. Build and test along the way. Use sub-‐components. StaJsJcal Process Control (SPC) / Yield. Find out now, not later. Sample TesJng: Temp/Humidity; TransportaJon; Drop; T/T; Small Parts; Heavy Metals;
Compliance; FuncJonal; Life. How do tests match reality? ISTA-‐3A. Final InspecJon / Acceptable Quality Levels (AQL) Walk the line. Get your hands dirty. It is much easier (and less expensive) to make changes before ProducJon Start. What happens if something fails? Will make or break a product … and a Company! Quality is rarely considered in the engineering phase by startups due to schedule, cost and
technical pressures. Watch out for the Unknown Unknowns. Strong indicator of long term success, etc. Can you answer the quesEon “How do you know the product is good”?

Injection Molding Advantages
• Supports highly integrated design - Complex geometry and fine details possible
• Low part cost • High volume production • Wide range of thermoplastic materials and fillers • Wide range of sizes • Low scrap rate • High reproducibility & Reasonable tolerances • Little post production required • Good surface finish • Can be fully automated • Reduces piece count • Simplifies assembly

Injection Molding Disadvantages
• High tooling costs and long lead-times
• Difficult to make changes
• Large undercuts are difficult
• Requires nearly uniform wall thickness
• Limited to Thermoplastic materials
• Cannot produce very large parts as a single piece.

Design Guidelines
• Design for 2mm uniform wall thickness (0.5mm – 6mm).
• Ribs 80% wall thickness. • Draft depends on texture and resin. Assume 0.5 deg. • Use rounds and fillets. No sharp edges except parting
line. • Shoot for planar parting line if possible. • Tolerance is a function of the resin, part geometry and
mold construction. • ABS: +/- 0.1mm • ABS Hole: +/- 0.05mm up to 6mm diameter.
• Surface Finish: SPI A-1 Grade 3: 6000 Grit Diamond

Materials
•Thermoplastic polymers (95%). Can go through molding cycle many times (i.e. similar to ice). No chemical bonds between strands.
•Thermosets (5%). Chemical react during process to form cross linked polymer chains. Irreversible. Excellent creep, dimensional stability, temperate and chemical resistance. Ex: phenolics and epoxies.
![Page 75: DFM Overview & Injection Molding - MIT - October 7, 2014](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558b3763d8b42ac9378b4622/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Materials, con’t
•Additives - Enhance a specific property (UV, stiffness, color,
flame retardants, etc). All have side effects. - Add chopped fiber (up to 30% volume). Strength
and stiffness, lose on impact, abrasion and tool live (cut down to 1/3). Properties approaching metal.
•Need to operate below 250C (400C max) •Low specific gravity (0.8 - 1.8) Steel = 7. Strength to weight ratio good. Automotive. •Some materials are transparent. •Very sensitive to changes in temperature (vs steel) •Good electrical insulation

Other Types of Molding
• Co-Injection / Overmolding (toothbrush)
• Gas Assist
• Low pressure (EE)
![Page 83: DFM Overview & Injection Molding - MIT - October 7, 2014](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110309/558b3763d8b42ac9378b4622/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Calc Molding Size
• Assume holding 2 - 5 tons / sq. in
• Assume 50% cavity pressure lost due to friction
• Calc surface area of combined parts and runners
• Look up injection molding pressure (ABS = 1k bar)
• Calculate cavity pressure (Molding Pressure * 0.5)
• Calculate Tonnage: F = P * A
