Rapid prototyping is the fast fabrication of a physical part, model or assembly using 3D computer aided design (CAD). The creation of the part, model or assembly is usually completed using additive manufacturing.
3D printing
The 3D printing process builds a three-dimensional object from a computer-aided design model, usually by successively adding material layer by layer.
Krafter’s undertake all kind of 3D printing requirements.
Silicon Moulding / Vacuum Casting
Commercial release quality parts for final testing and with low number of parts. This is quick way to try production ready product before starting hardened mould or tool making.
In a week’s time, the client has the facility to have 15 to 20 samples for testing. The Materials Krafter’s prefer are ABS, PP, Nylon and Rubber.
Soft Moulds / Proto Moulds
A soft tool is made of steel for targeted production of 5,000- 30,000 no. quantity or to test a multi (16 or more) cavity mould performance and cycle time by making a 2 or 4 cavity soft tool. Soft Mould will take 2 weeks lesser than an actual hard mould and at a reduced cost.
Disadvantage of soft tool is the burr and wear out after producing 1,000’s. So may require often mould maintenance.
Manufacturing Consultancy
Krafter’s provide start-ups and clients who need a professional consultancy to build a new product or set up a manufacturing facility. Krafter’s provide support on Lean Management and Six Sigma, to optimize the productivity, and to improve the efficiency.
One of the biggest challenges manufacturing companies face is the automation and implementation of ERP system and data analytics.
We at Krafter’s having served the hot runner industry most of our career decided to introduce hot runner service at south India for non branded or warrantee expired systems. A proper refurbishment and timely maintenance can extend the life span of HRS system. After life time of product run in the mould, HRS can be refurbished and stored for future use.
Also, Krafter’s provide services to retro fit existing Hot runner system or hot sprue with reliable costeffective systems for better production. Krafter’s can convert existing cold runner mould into hot runner moulds if required to reduce cycle time and reduce rejection.
Krafter’s can always be relied for guidance to choose wisely, when it comes to HOT RUNNER SYSTEM.
Krafter’s have come up with latest IoT enabled intelligent temperature controller which will communicate with authorised persons directly through the Mobile app, about the usage of the controller. It is backed with data
analytics and dashboards and equipped to communicate between controllers and send data without any manual intervention.
