What is the prototype molding process?

The journey begins once a client’s product structure diagrams and functional circuit designs are finalized. Our team initiates mold fabrication, a phase that demands meticulous planning to align with the unique requirements of UI components. Depending on the product’s complexity, LuphiTouch® employs specialized molds such as:

• ● Silicone hot-pressing molds for soft-touch interfaces.

• ● Plastic injection molds for durable housings.

• ● IMD (In-Mold Decoration) molds for integrated aesthetics and functionality.

• ● PCB manufacturing molds and functional test fixtures for electronic validation.

• ● Embossing, stamping, and screen printing tools to enhance tactile and visual appeal.

Each mold is crafted with precision to ensure consistency, scalability, and adherence to design specifications.

Stage 2: Prototyping with Cost-Saving Agility

Before committing to full-scale production, LuphiTouch® leverages agile prototyping techniques to validate designs and minimize upfront costs. For initial trials, we utilize:

• ● 3D printing for rapid visualization of complex geometries.

• ● CNC machining for high-accuracy components.

• ● Laser engraving for detailed surface patterning.

• ● Prototype molds for small-batch functional testing.

This phase allows clients to assess structural integrity, ergonomics, and performance in real-world scenarios. By identifying potential flaws early, we reduce the risk of costly revisions later.
