I will perform plastic injection molding dfm analysis and draft angle check
Ahmed Agbaje
About this gig
Are you planning to manufacture a plastic product, but not sure if your CAD model is ready for molding?
Fixing design errors after cutting expensive mold steel costs thousands of dollars. I will analyze your 3D CAD model to catch defects and ensure your product is 100% factory-ready.
What I Will Inspect:
- Draft Angles: Ensure your part ejects smoothly without sticking or scratching.
- Wall Thickness: Spot thick or uneven areas to prevent sink marks and warping.
- Undercuts: Identify zones that require costly extra tooling parts (sliders/lifters).
- Parting Lines & Gates: Choose optimal split lines for a clean cosmetic finish.
What You Will Get:
Clear PDF DFM Report: High-quality color-coded analysis showing exact problem areas.
Actionable Feedback: Practical steps to fix your design before production.
Fixed CAD Files (Premium): Production-ready .STEP/.IGES files with all corrections applied.
What I Need from You:
- Your 3D CAD file (.STEP, .IGES, or .SLDPRT).
- Plastic material type (e.g., ABS, PP, PC), if known.

Hi! I am a mechanical engineer specializing in Plastic Injection Molding, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and Tooling Design.
With years of hands-on experience in CAD/CAM software (SolidWorks, NX, Moldflow), I help product designers, inventors, and manufacturers convert initial 3D concepts into production-ready plastic parts.
Whether you need a DFM manufacturability audit, CAD fixes, or full Core & Cavity split tooling design, I ensure your parts can be manufactured without costly tooling revisions. Let’s bring your plastic product to life
FAQ
What file formats do you accept for the 3D model?
I accept standard 3D CAD formats, including .STEP, .STP, .IGES, .IGS, and .SLDPRT (SolidWorks). If you have a different format, please send me a message before ordering to confirm compatibility.
What is a DFM (Design for Manufacturing) analysis, and why do I need it?
A DFM analysis checks your 3D CAD model for manufacturing flaws such as missing draft angles, improper wall thickness, or undercuts before you cut steel tooling. Catching these issues early saves you thousands of dollar
Will you fix the CAD model if issues are found during the audit?
Yes! My Premium Package includes full CAD modification, where I fix the draft angles, adjust wall thickness, and optimize the file. If you ordered the Basic or Standard tier, you can upgrade to the Premium package or add CAD fixes as a custom extra at any time.
Is my design/IP safe with you?
Absolutely. Your intellectual property and product designs are 100% safe and kept strictly confidential. I never share or reuse client files under any circumstances, and I am happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) if required.
Can you help me choose the right plastic material for my product?
Yes! If you are unsure which plastic resin to use (e.g., ABS, Polypropylene, Polycarbonate, Nylon, or TPE), let me know your product's environment, required strength, and flexibility, and I will recommend the best resin for injection molding.
