FAQ

  • Q Can ABERY take over an injection mold from another supplier?

    A

    Yes, subject to an incoming review. We normally request the tool drawing or mold specification, ownership records, part drawings, resin, recent samples, maintenance history and available process or inspection records. After the mold arrives, we inspect its condition and confirm machine compatibility before scheduling a qualification trial.

  • Q How do you qualify transferred production?

    A

    The qualification plan depends on the part and customer requirements. It may include incoming mold inspection, trial setup, process review, dimensional or functional inspection, material and lot records, comparison to an approved sample, corrective actions and customer approval before repeat production.

  • Q Can you support PPAP documentation?

    A

    PPAP elements can be evaluated for programs that require them. Please provide the customer-specific submission level, drawing, special characteristics, material requirements, annual volume and required forms. The exact deliverables and timing are confirmed before quotation. PPAP support does not imply IATF 16949 certification.

  • Q What are your MOQ and lead time for repeat molding orders?

    A

    They are program-specific. Resin purchase quantity, changeover time, cavity count, cycle time, inspection, packaging, forecast stability and available capacity all affect MOQ and lead time. We confirm both after reviewing the mold and release plan.

  • Q Can you reserve capacity or provide buffer stock or VMI?

    A

    These options can be considered for stable repeat programs. The agreement should define the forecast horizon, firm-order window, reserved capacity, stock ownership, min/max levels, release signals, storage period and responsibility for obsolete inventory.

  • Q What files should I send for a production-transfer review?

    A

    Please send the part CAD and 2D drawing, mold specification or tool drawing, resin and color, annual forecast and release quantities, current sample or inspection report, packaging requirement, target transfer date and any PPAP or customer-specific requirements. An NDA can be arranged before confidential files are shared.

  • Q What information should I provide to start a product-development review?

    A

    Send the available product brief, 3D CAD, 2D drawings, prototype photos, mating-part information, target resin or performance requirements, estimated volume, target market and the questions you need the next prototype or molded sample to answer. We will identify missing inputs before recommending a path.

  • Q Do I need a prototype mold before production tooling?

    A

    Not always. The right method depends on design maturity, required material fidelity, quantity and the risk being tested. A 3D print, CNC prototype, soft tool or prototype injection mold may each be appropriate. We compare the options before recommending additional tooling investment.

  • Q How do you protect confidential product information?

    A

    We can sign an NDA before files are shared. Project access, approved recipients, subcontractor disclosure, file retention and return or deletion requirements can be defined in the agreement. Please identify any special security requirements before transfer.

  • Q What happens when changes are needed after T1?

    A

    We compare each finding with the approved DFM, mold design, drawing, resin and acceptance criteria. Confirmed mold-workmanship corrections are handled according to the tooling agreement. Product-design changes, new features, material changes or revised requirements follow the agreed engineering-change process.

ABERY is a China-based injection mold and plastic injection molding manufacturer supporting global OEMs from DFM and tooling to validated mass production.
