At ZL Design believes that if an enterprise wants to reduce the cost of product design and production, it needs to meet the following three conditions.

1. Cost control

Cost is the core part of product comparison. The cost determines the company's profit margin. Cost control starts from the beginning of product design. When designing the product structure, the following aspects should be considered from the cost aspect.

1. Under the premise of satisfying functions, try to choose low-cost materials.
2. On the premise of satisfying the appearance, try to reduce the number of parts.
3. Simplify the structure as much as possible to save mold costs.
4. Choose an appropriate fixing method to save production and assembly costs.
5. Use appropriate surface treatment methods to save treatment costs.
6. Use the company's existing materials as much as possible, and unify material specifications as much as possible, such as screw types.

2. Second, simplify the mold

When designing the product, the mold should be simplified on the premise of meeting the basic requirements of the product.

After the design is completed, a mold is needed to form the product. In the design process, it is necessary to ensure that the product can be manufactured through the mold. The product structure design is reliable, and the mold cannot realize or difficult to realize the unqualified structure. As a structural engineer, you need to have a certain understanding of the mold, the basic structure of the mold, the molding method of the product, and the way of ejecting the mold. Only in this way can the structure of the mold be simplified as much as possible. Possible during product design.

3. Under the premise of satisfying product functions, the simpler the structure, the better

The simpler the structure, the easier for mold manufacturing. The simpler the structure, the easier the production and assembly, and the fewer problems that arise. No redundant structure is allowed in the product structure design, which means wasting design time, increasing the difficulty of mold processing and wasting materials. In the process of product structure design, it is necessary to complete the structure without having to complete the optional structure, so that each structure needs to be useful, including each buckle and reinforcement connection, etc.
