Online RFQ submission is not yet enabled. The quote page lets you prepare details; nothing is sent.
Omita manages engineering communication, DFM discussions, quotations and project follow-through. Tooling and molding are carried out by cooperating manufacturers.
01 / REVIEW BEFORE TOOLING
Plastic Part Design & DFM
Five practical review topics before tooling decisions. The right approach depends on the part, resin and mold concept.
Draft Angles
Review taper against release direction, part depth and surface texture. The profile is conceptual, not a complete mold-release design.
Ribs & Bosses
Balance stiffness and assembly needs with wall sections around ribs and hollow bosses.
Gate Location
Consider flow, visible gate marks and functional surfaces when proposing a gate. Arrows show a concept, not a mold-flow simulation.
Sink Marks & Warpage
Review heavy sections and uneven cooling against appearance and fit needs.
Concept illustrations only, not to scale or manufacturing specifications. Tapers, flow and distortion are schematic; no fixed design values are implied.
02 / TURN DESIGN DECISIONS INTO TOOLING
Injection Mold Development
A tooling proposal should connect part function with a practical mold concept. Omita brings customer decisions and manufacturing feedback into one review process.
- Drawing and part design reviewCheck revisions, functional features and surfaces that matter.
- Mold feasibility discussionsReview release direction, undercuts and tooling constraints.
- Tooling proposalDiscuss the proposed approach and project scope before commitment.
- Gate and parting line considerationsIdentify visible marks and their impact on function or appearance.
- Mold trials and sample reviewRecord findings and agree any corrections or further trials.
Mold specifications, ownership, maintenance and any changes must be agreed for the project. Listed activities do not imply Omita owns tooling facilities.

Injection Molding Materials
Match resin selection to function, appearance, environment and assembly.
Technical reference — availability pending confirmation
Not a verified Omita resin catalog. Supply, grade suitability and processing availability must be confirmed per project.
ABS
Housings and general-purpose parts; review appearance and impact needs.
PC
Tough or transparent parts; review grade and chemical exposure.
PP
Lightweight parts and flexible features; review stiffness and shrinkage.
PA
Mechanical parts; account for moisture and conditioning.
POM
Sliding and mechanical parts; review fit and wear conditions.
PC/ABS
Functional enclosures; properties depend on the selected blend and grade.
04 / DECISIONS AT EACH STAGE
From Tooling to Production
Six project stages, with sample approval requirements agreed by both parties.
Design Review
Confirm geometry, drawing revisions and project priorities.
DFM & Tooling
Discuss molding risks and the proposed tooling approach.
Mold Development
Develop the tool against agreed design decisions.
Trial Samples
Review initial samples and any necessary corrections.
Customer Approval
Confirm acceptance against the agreed sample criteria.
Production & Inspection
Produce and inspect against approved specifications.
Actual steps follow the agreed project plan. Omita follows up inspection requirements and coordinates packing and delivery with cooperating manufacturers.
05 / AGREE WHAT ACCEPTANCE MEANS
Quality Considerations
Critical dimensions, cosmetic requirements, assembly fit, and inspection expectations are reviewed before production.
Inspection methods, tolerances and acceptance criteria are agreed per project; no default CNC tolerance standard is implied.
Appearance & Surface Finish
Agree visual criteria for gate marks, parting lines, sink, warpage, texture and color.
Dimensions & Assembly
Review critical dimensions and mating-part fit, taking resin shrinkage into account.
Sample Approval & Inspection
Confirm sample acceptance, inspection needs and records, and resolve open issues before production release.
06 / PRACTICAL PROJECT QUESTIONS
Injection Molding FAQ
Key decisions to discuss before developing a mold.
What drawings are needed for an injection molding quote?
Provide a 3D model, preferably STEP, and a revision-controlled 2D drawing with critical dimensions. Include quantity, resin preferences, finish and assembly notes.
How do draft angles affect mold design?
Draft helps a part release from the tool. The suitable taper depends on release direction, depth, texture and resin, so it is reviewed for each design.
Why does wall thickness matter?
Wall sections affect filling, cooling and shrinkage. Heavy sections and abrupt changes can contribute to sink or warpage; DFM considers more uniform sections where practical.
How is gate location selected?
Gate position balances flow, geometry, appearance and tooling layout. Visible marks and functional surfaces are discussed before the design is agreed.
What happens after the first mold trial?
Review sample dimensions, appearance and assembly against agreed criteria. Corrections may require another trial before customer approval and production release.
