Engineering team: Ready to build! 🚀 Customer: "We're not ready yet." The struggle is real. 💀😀 #EngineeringMemes #ManufacturingHumor #Jaycon

Injection mold tooling cost: the cheaper mold can cost you more. Prototype tooling and production tooling are not the same, and picking on upfront price alone means you overpay upfront or on every part. [1/5]

Aluminum vs steel mold? Still changing your design, go soft tooling. Design frozen and nearing 5K+ units a year, go steel production tooling. [4/5]
3
Production tooling uses hardened steel, multi cavity injection molds. Higher upfront tooling cost, but lower cost per part and long mold life. T1 samples in 25 to 40 days. [3/5]
4
Prototype tooling (soft tooling) uses aluminum injection molds. Fast to cut, easy to modify and ready in 12 to 18 days. Ideal for prototyping and low volume production. [2/5]

When you land a 2,000-part manufacturing order… but the customer is your MOM. 💀😂 #ManufacturingMemes #EngineeringHumor #Jaycon

Ever wondered what happens after you send your Gerber files to a PCB factory? CNC drilling, lamination, copper plating, solder mask, AOI and flying probe testing. Every step inside a five story PCB fab: youtu.be/wuoUOIHtVcI?si=HyeB… #PCBFabrication #PCBManufacturing #jaycon

Your T1 parts look good. That’s not enough. Here’s what experienced teams check before approving injection molded samples. [1/5] 🧵

Test the process window. Stable across shots? Flash near limits? Fit with mating parts? Cosmetics under spec lighting? [4/5]

Check every cavity. On multi cavity tools, one good cavity proves nothing. Review samples from each. [3/5]

Measure after parts stabilize. Fresh parts keep shrinking, so dimensions taken right off the press can mislead you. [2/5]

One extra screw after product assembly? 💀 An engineer's worst nightmare! Would you take it apart? #EngineeringHumor #MechanicalEngineering #Jaycon

Parting lines and ejector pin marks have to go somewhere. Mark your cosmetic surfaces so they stay off the side your customer sees. Instant injection molding quote: jaycon.com/quote #InjectionMolding #ProductDesign #jaycon
