▎ Overcoming Challenges
• Initial designs had thick walls and heavy metal inserts—unsuitable for injection molding
• Proposed 12+ DFM (Design for Manufacturing) improvements, reducing weight by 35% without compromising durability
• Delivered 5 CNC prototype iterations in 3 weeks to validate design changes
▎ Key Processes & Expertise
✔ Metal insert overmolding
✔ Soft-over-hard two-shot molding
✔ Integrated screw & snap-fit assembly
✔ Primer + silicone oil spray coating
✔ Silk-screen logo printing
