34. Product design
Pros
IV emphasis the importance of early involvement in projects,
designing and developing the product together with the customer.
Preparation of prototypes tools or SLA samples for pre-testing
production conditions of products.
3-D CAD/CAM
Mould-flow analysis
UG ( Unigraphics v. NX 3 ) in Norway and China
Why?
Sharing knowledge and experience both ways (customer and supplier)
– “closed loop” product design!
Create a product optimal for both production and customer
expectation and securing a process window throughout the complete
production process
Optimized process conditions secures stable delivery, more efficient
production, lowering of cost trough out the value added chain..
IV Tech Mould emphasizes the importance of “Early Supplier Involvement”, sharing knowledge
and experience to create the best possible solution for both customer and supplier.
34
35. Two component moulding
Description and why?
Plastic products is being used in an increasing amount of application,
The requirements to plastic products, both in new and existing
market segments is constantly increasing.
The combination of different material properties in the same
product, for either functional or cosmetical reasons is getting
increasingly important.
Pros
Produce parts with properties not possible with single shot moulding.
Produce multi-colord or multi-resin parts for functional or cosmetical
purpose, or both.
Eliminate assembly steps of cushion or sealing with in-moulded
solutions; reduce price and enhance product performance.
In-moulding of cushions and sealing achieving better bonding between
the two materials, extending product lifetime and improving product
quality.
Produce parts with movable segments or components using “in-
mould assembly” technology.
IV Tech Mould has long traditions for delivering high quality two component plastics
35
36. Over moulding, Insert moulding
Description and why?
As for 2K products the combination of different material properties in
the same product, for either functional or cosmetical reasons are of
increasing importance.
Plastic parts are taking over for metal parts; this on one side increases
the requirement to the mechanical properties of the plastic materials, but
on the other side also requires the possibility to combine products with
metal and plastic moulded as one.
Insert moulding; small metal parts moulded into the plastic product,
over moulding; metal parts partly over moulded with plastic.
Pros Difficulties
Space savings Selection of suitable materials
Cost reduction Suitable part design for plastic
applications
Easies the production process
Handling of metal part
Broaden the design freedom of
products and components. Measure tolerances for metal-
and plastic part
IV Tech Mould has spent considerable resources on the over-moulding technology and possesses
unique in-house competence and production capacity
36
37. Thin-
Thin-wall technology
Description and why?
Space is getting more and more important as the size of the product is Flow length v.s. Wall thickness
getting continuously reduced but the amount of product functions 150
steadily increased.

The space for supporting components as plastic parts are getting less
and less. The thinner plastic parts the more space for other
