Hello,
I have machining background but currently working on development of an injection molding part from a supplier.
I am currently confused about what kind of features should I ask them to do initial process capability?
The part is ABS. I gave them a list of features (pins, holes etc.) to do Cp on both size (e.g. dia) and location (e.g. position, perpendicularity etc.).
But they pushing back saying that they are unable to do Cp on so many dimensions. The dimensions total to about 25.
I am now planning to reduce this list so as to remove the location dimensions, and only ask them to do sizes (length, width, dia, etc.).
However, I am wondering what is the industry norm in initial Cp of injection molding parts?
Thanks.
