Design Engineers Checklist

DP Seals Ltd News and PR from DP Seals Ltd - Published 02 November 2022 A checklist for engineers to use when considering the design of a rubber seals, gasket or moulding for their application
Designing a rubber seal, gasket or moulding for your product requires significant collaboration between design engineers, production teams, material technologists and the manufacturer. To ensure this is as effective and smooth as possible early, quality communication is paramount.

The time and cost pressures on design engineers today are higher than ever. By communicating early and thoroughly with your chosen manufacturer you will have the best chance of saving time, reducing costs and gaining a competitive advantage.

On the contrary leaving your choice of material, profile and manufacturing process until too late could force you into choosing a standard product which compromises product performance. Alternatively, last minute development of a specialised moulding could result in delays to market entry and higher costs overall.

For a design engineer to explain work clearly it is crucial to communicate the thought process behind the work, be it with your team, business or clients. We trust this handy checklist will play a part in helping you do just that.
