Certifications & Quality Systems

Globally Certified Injection Molding Partner

Built for demanding automotive, medical, and aerospace programs—our quality systems focus on repeatability, traceability, and risk-controlled manufacturing for molded parts and tools.

Are SPI’s facilities certified for automotive and medical injection molding?

Yes. SPI’s manufacturing facilities are certified to ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485 and AS9100D. These quality systems support demanding automotive, medical and aerospace programs, ensuring consistent process control, traceability and risk management for your injection molded parts and tools.

Free Engineering Support Package

What You Get with Our Free DFM, Moldflow & Trial Parts Package

One bundle that clarifies manufacturability, flow risk, and validation—so you can make confident tooling decisions and avoid expensive mold rework.

What is included in SPI’s free DFM & Moldflow package?

  • A detailed DFM report on your part and tooling design
  • Moldflow simulations for filling, packing and warpage
  • Optional 3D scanning of reference parts
  • Prototype trial parts to validate fit, function and assembly

We offer these services upfront because most injection molding delays start with preventable risks—draft issues, uneven wall thickness, hidden undercuts, or flow-related defects. A proper DFM review and Moldflow simulation let you address those risks early, when changes are still inexpensive.

By validating the design and tooling plan before you commit, you shorten the iteration loop, reduce uncertainty for your program team, and move into production with a clearer quality and delivery roadmap.

Free Engineering Review

Free DFM Analysis – Improve Moldability Before You Cut Steel

Identify moldability risks early and get clear, practical recommendations—so your tooling strategy, cycle time, and part quality are aligned before steel is cut.

What is DFM analysis in injection molding?

DFM analysis in injection molding is a design review that checks whether your part can be molded efficiently and reliably. It focuses on wall thickness, draft, ribs, gates and parting lines, and recommends changes that reduce tooling cost, cycle time and the risk of defects like sink marks or short shots.

What You’ll See in Your DFM Report

  • Risk summary by feature

    A prioritized list of high-impact risks and where they appear in the model.

  • Thickness & draft recommendations

    Notes to reduce sinks, warpage and ejection risk while protecting appearance.

  • Suggestions to simplify tooling

    Ways to reduce sliders/lifters, improve parting strategy, and lower complexity.

  • Ejection & mechanism notes

    Guidance for ejector layout, plus sliders/lifters where undercuts require them.

How We Work with Your Design Team

We review your latest CAD, share a clear risk/solution list, and iterate as your model updates. If you send revised files, we re-check the critical features and confirm the tooling approach—so decisions stay aligned as the design matures.

Free Process Simulation

Free Moldflow Analysis – See the Flow Before You Build the Tool

Predict filling, packing and cooling behavior early—so you can make smarter gate, runner and cooling decisions before tooling is cut.

What is Moldflow analysis in injection molding?

Moldflow analysis is a simulation of the injection molding process that predicts how molten plastic fills, packs and cools inside the mold. It helps you optimize gate locations and runner design, and identify risks such as weld lines, air traps, sink marks and warpage before any tooling is cut.

Key Results in Your Free Moldflow Report

  • Fill time & pressure distribution

    Maps that help verify flow balance and identify high-pressure zones.

  • Weld lines, air traps & sink risk

    Hot spots that can affect appearance, strength and stability.

  • Warpage prediction

    Estimated deformation impact on critical dimensions and assembly interfaces.

Typical Decisions Moldflow Helps You Make

  • Gate count & location

    Improve flow balance, reduce weld lines, and protect cosmetic surfaces.

  • Material & process window

    Compare behavior and refine packing/cooling assumptions.

  • Cooling design direction

    Identify where cooling changes can stabilize warpage and cycle time.

Free Dimensional Verification

Free 3D Scanning – Verify Critical Dimensions

Capture true part geometry and compare it to CAD—so you can confirm fit, function, and tolerance performance with clear, actionable evidence.

What is 3D scanning used for in injection molding?

3D scanning in injection molding captures the true geometry of a part and compares it to the CAD model. It helps verify critical dimensions, check warpage and shrinkage, and document first-article inspection results, so you can confirm that the molded parts meet your tolerance and quality requirements.

Typical Scenarios We Support

  • First-Article Inspection (FAI)

    Document geometry and key dimensions with a clear CAD-to-scan comparison.

  • Before/After Tool Modifications

    Verify dimensional change after mold tuning and reduce rework uncertainty.

  • Reverse Engineering Legacy Parts

    Create a usable digital reference when CAD data is missing or outdated.

Free Trial Runs

Free Prototype Trials – Validate Before Production

Get real molded parts early to confirm assembly fit, functional performance, and user-facing details—before you commit to full production tooling.

What are prototype trials in injection molding?

Prototype trials in injection molding are small-batch runs using prototype or bridge tooling to produce parts before full production. They allow you to test assembly, function and ergonomics, collect feedback from stakeholders and refine your design, reducing the risk of costly changes after production tooling is built.

Tooling Options & Typical Trial Quantities

  • Soft tooling / aluminum molds

    Fast-turn tools for design verification and early stakeholder feedback.

  • Bridge tooling

    A practical path to low/medium volumes while final production tooling is prepared.

  • Typical batch range

    Often tens to a few hundred parts, depending on geometry, material and goals.

Case Studies

Case Studies – How Free DFM and Moldflow Reduce Risk

Practical examples where early design review and simulation prevented defects, shortened development cycles, and improved tooling outcomes.

How do free DFM and Moldflow services reduce injection molding risk?

Free DFM and Moldflow services reduce injection molding risk by finding issues before tooling is built. By reviewing wall thickness, draft and gating and simulating flow and warpage, SPI helps customers avoid defects, shorten development time and optimize tooling investments for automotive, medical and industrial projects.

Automotive Housing Optimization

DFM highlighted non-uniform wall sections and gating sensitivity. Moldflow confirmed warpage drivers and guided a revised gate strategy and rib tuning to stabilize cooling behavior.

Warpage -40% Cycle time -15%

Medical Enclosure – Tooling Simplification

DFM iteration reduced undercuts and reworked parting strategy to eliminate unnecessary mechanisms. The updated design cut slider count and improved repeatability for clinical builds.
