Cost reduction is the key focus for most procurement functions. An often-desired goal is having procurement accomplished on time and under budget. So, a decrease in cost for the latter may help realize some savings. But several problems may arise if more focus is placed on going under budget.

The most classic example where procurement function gets caught is outsourcing Low-Cost Countries with considering implication to total wall-to-wall cost, quality, delivery, lead time and in turn inventory.

With every cost reduction project, the procurement team must consider implication on wall-to-wall cost, quality, delivery, lead time, freight cost, trade compliance issues and in turn inventory. It is not always necessary that if piece price is low, it is a good thing!

This is why Abtec strives for quality, service/lead-times and all at a competitive price. To learn how Abtec can help keep you in budget, on-time with quality exceeding your expectations reach out to us today at

Manufacturing using injection molding typically requires an upfront investment in tooling. That’s why it’s especially important to design your mold right the first time, rather than having to start again after finding serious defects. Defects related to the molding process or material tend to be easier and less costly to solve. But no matter the cause, defects in molded products can hurt your bottom line tremendously.

With Abtec Inc. we walk with you every step of the way, to prevent issues in the future and ensure your products meet your customers’ quality standards.

Your choice of plastic resin actually has a large impact on the kind of metal used to make the tool, the design of the tool and the processing parameters that are applied to make the finished part.

For the quickest and easiest build, Abtec Inc., will help you choose a readily available resin type that will suit most applications. These would include high- and low-density polyethylene, polycarbonate, polystyrene, acetal, nylon and ABS. These compounds are cheap, abundant, easy to color and have stable engineering properties, which are well understood and predictable. This makes it much easier for the Abtec Inc., to design appropriate cooling circuits as well as to purchase the right tool material to suit the resin, part application and volume.

Once a designer has submitted a workable drawing to Abtec Inc., it’s important to avoid any changes to preserve speed. All design input should happen before the work begins—not after. Where possible, design for manufacturing advice should be sought to ensure best practices for features like wall thicknesses, draft angles, injector pin locations, hole size and depth, and so forth.

It’s important for the product engineer to know that, once a tool build has begun, even simple modifications can greatly increase costs, introduce production delays, or both. If a customer requests the fastest possible turnaround time for a tool, Abtec Inc. can specify that changes are not allowed once a design has been accepted to ensure the production schedule is met.

Rapid turnaround doesn’t work for every job!

Let Abtec Inc. work with you for all of the best possible design for manufacture processes to insure your project is completed right and on time.

12/05/2025

Material selection is a critical part of the DFM path to high quality/low cost/fast production plastic injection molded parts and products. The sheer number of types of plastics and their associated properties makes discussions with Abtec Inc., your injection molder, critically important, as addressing specific needs early in the design process is key to avoiding costly changes later.

Materials selection affects strength and flexibility, temperature resistance, durability, appearance, toughness, life-span, and (of course) production cost. Other needs can include:

Agency approvals
Assembly
Chemical resistance
Resin availability

When it comes to selecting the right material, Abtec has the experience, expertise and is open to discussion to balance all of these factors prior to building a mold and tooling.
