A thick-wall moulding challenge solved for a home lifestyle e-commerce brand.

Provocatio
Our client, a home lifestyle e-commerce brand, wanted to launch a premium plastic coffee dripper. The part features an extremely thick wall—a classic "thick-wall injection moulding" challenge.
The client initially tried a two-shot overmoulding process. The results:
⚠️ Rejection rate hit 95% — nearly every batch was scrapped
⚠️ Superficies imperfecta — unacceptable for high-res e-commerce product photography
They came to us for a complete solution.
Nostra solutio
Nos recomendarum mutare ab overmoulding duobus momentis ad injectionem unius momenti , totam responsabilitatem assumentes pro designo formae, optimisatione processus, et tractatione post-formam.

Difficultates
Postquam ad injectionem unius momenti transivimus, paries crassus novam seriem problematum creavit:
▸ Bullae vacuae in parte crassa formatae sunt
▸ Deformatio gravis per totam partem
▸ Notae impressiones subsidentes in superficie aesthetica
Haec tria vitia sunt classica trias moulding crassorum parietum — corrigere unum saepe cetera deteriorat.
Ratio Nostra
Our engineering team attacked the problem from two directions:
1. Fine-tuned the injection process — through repeated DOEs, we optimised fill speed, holding pressure, and cooling time to minimise shrinkage and internal stress at the source
2. Developed a proprietary post-mould cooling fixture — after ejection, parts go through a precisely controlled external cooling station that we designed in-house, ensuring stable geometry and eliminating voids during the critical solidification phase
After multiple validation rounds, we cracked all three problems.
Eventus
| Metricus | Exitus |
|---|---|
| Internal quality | Zero voids — fully eliminated |
| Qualitas superfici | Smooth finish, sink marks completely resolved |
| Stabilitas dimensionalis | No warpage, all dimensions within drawing specifications |
| Status productionis | Stable yield, smooth mass production, on-time delivery |

The client launched the product immediately upon receiving the first mass-production batch, with positive feedback from end-users.
