Two-Halves Housing Mold for Wireless Networking Equipment

This project involved the production of a two-piece electronic housing used in the networking industry, specifically for devices that enable over-the-air (OTA) updates on wireless networks. The enclosure is created using a family mold, which is a tooling configuration that allows two different yet complementary parts to be injection molded simultaneously. These two components are the mating halves of the final product housing.

The material of choice for this application is a Polycarbonate/ABS (PC/ABS) blend, a widely used thermoplastic composite in electronic enclosures. This blend offers an excellent balance of strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for protecting sensitive networking electronics.

Thanks to the efficiency of the family mold design and our optimized molding cycle, we are able to produce one complete set of housing halves approximately every 40 seconds, ensuring a high-volume output with consistent part quality. This manufacturing approach not only improves production efficiency but also reduces part handling and alignment issues during assembly.
