Inputs received
- Original bushing sample
- Quantity target
- Hardness and use-environment goals
Constraints
- Flexible part behavior
- Repeatable batch quality
- Mold strategy tied to quantity
Route chosen
Polyurethane casting matched the flexible, repeatable part behavior.
Result
Small-batch production route defined.
Validation
- Sample geometry documented before mold planning
- Hardness target compared with use case
- First-piece review planned before batch casting
What made it hard
- Aged samples can misrepresent final hardness
- Small dimensional changes affect fit
- Batch consistency depends on locked material assumptions
