Injection Mold Making for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle's (UAV) Parts
Recently JAVE Mold made an injection mold for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) frame, here is the UAV's plastic body making process.

Then JAVE Mold confirmed related information with the customer, and did 3D design for the mold as below drawing shows.
Injection mold manufacturing took 4 weeks, JAVE Mold did T1 sample test as scheduled. We did assembly performance inspection with first sample, check some surface issue, i.e. welding line and shrinkage etc., but with good assembly status, then we sent T1 sample to customer, and clarified the surface issue and solution. After customer received the sample and inspected, then we can do the modifications accordingly.
After receiving customer's feedback, JAVE Mold did T2 mold modification and made samples, then made oil treatment and color painting, the final UAV as below:
After customer received T2 sample, carried with the UAV power system to do analog flight experiment. As the UAV is newly developed, customer thought the impact strength should be improved. Therefore, we strengthened thickness for some areas, and changed the UAV's plastic frame from PP to PA66, in order to improve the impact strength.
At last, JAVE Mold did T3 sample test, customer was very satisfied with the result. Then JAVE Mold proceeded with mass production. Refer to below drawing for final overall assembly.
