What the Readiness Check looks at
These are questions that most often cause redesign, tooling changes and failed design verifications.
Injection moulding
Split line - wall thickness - ribs - drafts- undercuts - tool safe features - critical dimensions - tolerance stack up - measurement methods - weld lines
Machined
Critical dimensions - tolerance stack up - measurement methods - tool access - internal corner radii - number of setups - surface finish - fixturing
Extruded tubing
Critical dimensions - tolerance stack up - measurement methods - concentricity - ovality - web thickness - lumen position
