I will manage your injection molding project from prototype to production


About this gig
Are you struggling to bridge the gap between a 3D concept and a functional, mass-produced plastic part? With over 20 years of experience in mold engineering, I help companies turn complex concepts into reality. I provide comprehensive manufacturing solutions, not just drawings.
My services include:
- DFM Optimization: Ensuring your design is manufacturable to save costs and avoid production failures.
- Rapid Prototyping: Development of 3D printable molds (Core & Cavity) for cold-casting/manual injection, perfect for low-cost testing.
- Mold Engineering: Professional design for pilot and conventional production (Aluminum/Steel).
- Project Management: Overseeing your cycle from initial CAD files to final plastic parts.
I use Rhinoceros and SolidWorks Plastics to guarantee precision. Whether you need a resin mold for a prototype or a high-precision steel tool for mass production, I provide the engineering oversight you need.
Given the complexity of your design, I specialize in modular mold engineering. By utilizing geometric self-alignment (cones and precise draft angles) and segmented inserts, I can ensure a safe demolding process for complex parts, protecting both your prototypes integrity.

FAQ
What is included in the basic, standard and premium packages?
The packages cover single-component parts or standard 2-plate molds for direct extraction (no sliders or complex undercuts). If your project involves electronic interfaces (PCBs), multi-part assemblies, or advanced mechanisms, please contact me via chat FIRST for a custom quote.
What is the difference between the Basic package and the Standard/Premium packages?
The Basic package is for 3D Product Optimization (fixing draft angles, thickness, and export files). The Standard and Premium packages are for Tooling Design, where I create the actual 3D printable multi-piece mold blocks (Core & Cavity) with injection gates and air vents.
How do we handle highly complex projects or assemblies?
The standard pricing applies to single-component parts. If your project features electronic interfaces (PCBs), complex undercuts requiring multiple sliders, or multi-part enclosures, please message me before ordering. I will review your files and generate a custom milestone-based quote.
Can you manufacture the physical mold and ship the injected prototypes to me?
Yes! Although this Gig is set up for digital delivery to comply with platform rules, I offer a full turnkey manufacturing service. I can print the tooling, cast the final parts in my workshop, and ship the physical prototypes worldwide via DHL/FedEx. Contact me through the chat to coordinate.
