Jaco P.

I help product designers, manufacturers and toolmakers develop injection-molded parts and tooling that can be manufactured reliably. I have nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in the plastics industry, progressing from injection-molding machine setting and toolmaking to CAD/CAM, mold design and toolroom management. This allows me to evaluate a project from both the design and manufacturing sides—not only whether it can be modelled, but whether it can be tooled, machined, assembled and produced successfully. My specialist services include: • Injection-mold design and tooling development • Plastic-part DFM and moldability reviews • Core, cavity, slider and tooling-component design • CAD modelling and design modifications • CAM programming and CNC manufacturing support • Mold modifications and manufacturing troubleshooting • Engineering drawings, tolerances and BOMs • Jigs, fixtures and special-purpose tooling • Blow-molding and extrusion-related design support I understand practical considerations such as draft, wall thickness, shrinkage, parting lines, undercuts, tooling access, ejection, cooling, machining and assembly. Whether you need a plastic component prepared for tooling, an existing mold modified, or accurate CAD/CAM support for your toolroom, I can provide practical solutions based on real manufacturing experience.
