Design for manufacture (DFM)

We love snap fits and have a fetish for FEA analysis

FEA in the begining quality product in the end

Injection moulding and plastics are often found at the heart of consumer electronics design. But what happens if your design has fixings or features that may not be mouldable? Luckily, Itch have been there, done that and have already done the innovating for you. Using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) helps to safeguard against these issues, either in production or in consumer use.

you know that you are in safe hands

Luckily, Itch have been there, done that and have already done the innovating for you. Using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) helps to safeguard against these issues, either in production or in consumer use. FEA creates a triangulated mesh of the geometry under inspection. It is the same technology utilised by the defence and aerospace sector, so you know that you are in safe hands. This allows the team at Itch to refine your designs for manufacture, durability and performance. Need to know how many times a snap fit will last or how much pressure a mould needs to fill? Itch can tell you and keep your design process running smoothly.
