Latest company case about First-Time OEM Mold Collaboration: 5 Pitfall-Avoidance Steps (Buyer’s Guide)
Key Takeaways
  • Pain Point Solved: Chaotic workflows, delayed deliveries, or quality gaps in first-time partnerships.
  • Core Value: Cut communication costs by 30% and guarantee 100% first 合作 success.
Step-by-Step Implementation
1. Prepare a Complete Requirement Package

Don’t miss:

  • 3D drawings (STEP/IGES format).
  • Part function (e.g., "airbag cover" vs. "sensor housing").
  • Annual production volume (e.g., 50,000 units).
  • Heya Support: Free "requirement checklist template" to avoid missing key details.
2. Get a DFM Report Before Signing Contracts
  • Pitfall: Skipping DFM leads to 2+ weeks of design rework later.
  • Correct Flow: Heya provides a free DFM report (includes manufacturability checks + cost optimizations) to confirm feasibility upfront.
3. Embed Quality Standards in Contracts

Explicitly define:

  • Dimensional tolerance (e.g., ±0.01mm).
  • Surface roughness (e.g., Ra ≤0.008μm).
  • Certifications (e.g., IATF 16949 for automotive).
  • Heya Guarantee: Every mold ships with a CMM inspection report for data traceability.
4. Track Key Project Milestones
  • Critical Timelines:
    1. Design approval (T1).
    2. Prototype mold testing (T2).
    3. Mass production (T3).
  • Heya Commitment: 12–15 day lead time for prototype molds, with real-time updates (including machining videos) at each stage.
5. Validate Prototypes Rigorously
  • Test with your target resin (e.g., PC/ABS for automotive parts).
  • Inspect 30+ samples for dimensional consistency.
  • Heya Service: Post-test defect analysis + free mold adjustments until prototypes meet standards.
