By outsourcing your device or component production with a company that has custom capabilities, you can ensure no corners are being cut to fit a stock option. Components designed for your specific machinery or equipment will last longer, and provide a more
Even with custom design capabilities, some manufacturers may not have the proper equipment to carry out your project seamlessly, in-house. Unique services like clean room molding, ultrasonic welding, extrusion, and dip molding/coating may not be offered by every company, or they may be limited on the materials they can use. Make sure you ask about their in-house capabilities and materials they can source.
Before narrowing down your chosen manufacturer, you should also consider if they have experience working in your industry. While a producer with adjacent experience in a similar industry may work out just fine for your needs, an experienced producer will know many of the specifics of your industry ahead of time. This can all aid in efficiency and quality, while also minimizing errors along the way.
A company able to design, produce and assembly all components and devices in-house can greatly improve your supply chain efficiency and quality standards. While some companies may not offer every service in-house, if you are able to achieve most or all of your injection molding services from the same provider, you can greatly reduce overhead costs and production inefficiencies.
