1. Mold Study and Design:
With 50 years of experience, NOCENTE conducts the mold study and design within its engineering office in Voiron (38). This step involves using advanced CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to model each mold component in 3D, considering the part's technical specifications and the plastic injection process requirements.
2. Supervision of Offsite Manufacturing:
Once the mold design is finalized, NOCENTE supervises the offsite mold manufacturing. The manufacturing is realized by NOCENTE long-term partners.
3. First Sample Parts:
After mold manufacturing is completed, the first sample parts are produced and delivered for evaluation. These samples are used for validation tests, quality assessments, and identifying any necessary adjustments.
4. Mold Repatriation to France Workshop:
After the first sample parts are validated, the mold is repatriated to NOCENTE's workshop in France for final quality control and necessary adjustments. This step ensures the produced parts meet the project's specific requirements.
5. Quality Control and Mold Fine-Tuning in Our France Workshop:
In our workshop in France, we conduct rigorous quality control to ensure the mold meets NOCENTE’s established manufacturing standards. We also perform adjustments and tests to optimize the mold’s performance and injection parameters.
The tooling/mold manufacturing process, from computer design to fine-tuning, is complex and requires meticulous planning, technical expertise, and specialized equipment.
