Problem

Molded parts, including a wire clamp and a corner tail-light mount, had to move from prototype tooling to production tooling.

My contribution

  • Designed the parts and their molds in Autodesk Inventor.
  • Spearheaded six injection molds from concept to production.
03

Process

  • Single-cavity prototype tools first, to prove each part.
  • Then a multi-cavity production mold with a full runner system.
