... Example: ECU Housing Project goal was the product engineering and production of an electronics housing for an automotive "under-the-hood" application. We started with collecting all the functional and environmental requirements in a workshop together with our (Tier1) customer. The following contract included design work for the housing part plus integrated connectors, the production of Rapid Prototyping parts with SLS (selective laser sintering) technology and the subsequent manufacture of production injection molds in glass-reinforced PBT-GF30 resin. The main challenge was to secure the harsh sealing requirements for the engine compartment environment. Prior to mold design a comprehensive MoldFlowTM analysis was conducted which provided valuable hints for optimum gate and runner location and a subsequent "steel safe" tool design. The results showed impressive correlation with the later molded samples. The plastic housing is in volume production now at our manufacturing partner Gaudlitz and the Intensa team continues to service the customer for the complete life of program. |
