Solving Injection Molding Challenges: How We Partnered to Fix Critical Weld Line Issues

*"When a long-term client faced recurring cracks in their LCP connector housing, they turned to us not just as a supplier, but as a technical partner.

The challenge? A critical M12 connector showed weld lines (knit lines) in thin-walled sections, compounded by material mixing issues—confirmed via X-ray analysis. While some dismissed it as ‘common,’ our engineering team identified root causes:

  • Suboptimal gate design leading to uneven material flow

  • LCP’s sensitivity to molding parameters

  • Insufficient venting in thin sections

Our solution: Proposed multi-point gating, adjusted mold temps, and process optimization—transforming a defect into reliability.

This case underscores why clients trust us: We don’t just deliver parts; we solve problems collaboratively. Whether it’s design review, material selection, or process tuning, we tailor solutions to your exact needs.
