Product, Tooling Design & Engineering Support
At DML we assesses your drawings and provides engineering guidance to help you design mould-able parts that are optimized for manufacture. From tool design concepts to process development and validation, we ensure that all aspects of production meet the ultimate goal of producing high-quality injection moulded parts.
Product Design Assistance
Our suggestion on this steps to design the product features, specs and industrial design follow. DML mould is certainly in a position to help you develop your new projects or re-design current products and implement these steps on behalf of clients by meeting in person and teleconferencing with you and your sales & marketing and technical people each step of the way.

Mold Flow Analysis For Mold & Tooling Design
Tooling & Mold Design
The Moldflow analysis is a helpful simulation for mould design concept evaluated and optimized the design options, that guarantees us to build a high-quality plastic injection mold successfully. Through this simulation, we can find out the best gate location, cycle time simulation analysis, cooling checking, sink marks preventing, welding line improving, venting designing and injection parameter primary analysis that is indispensable to us.
DML uses the lasted engineer software to build the 2D or 3D mold structure and simulate that it is right and capable; our designer should follow the ultimate confirmed DFM report to build mold structure, and assemble mold components that are the customer’s mold standard.
Generally, We use these engineer softwares to build a model as below:
Pro-Engineer for product design model.
Unigraphics NX for3D mold design model.
Auto CAD for 2D mold design.
Moldflow for Moldflow analysis and optimized simulation.
