What are people's experiences with using recycled plastics in their manufacturing?


Joaquin Castelló

Entrepreneurship + Family-Owned Business Mentor

What IP do you need in your enclosure? We manufacture thousands of enclosures per month, IP66-67-68 in ABS+PC, PVC, PC, PP + GF...... I definitely recommend new material for enclosures, which will keep your process parameters stabilized, as you will find many variations between 1 batch & another... At the end, you don't know where does the recycled resin comes from, and if it had a lot of fatigue in it's 'past life'.... Success!

How to control defects in physical products?


Joaquin Castelló

Entrepreneurship + Family-Owned Business Mentor

It all starts with the mold. If it has the right tolerances, product will come out OK, IF the manufacturing process is stabilized and controlled as well. Do a test run to validate data, and stick to the approved parameters. Measure parts once, per shift. We use a CMM machine that has taken our headaches away!

Should I patent the new hair styling product I created and how to a create a prototype?


Joaquin Castelló

Entrepreneurship + Family-Owned Business Mentor

I would definitely recommend to patent, first do a search to see where you are standing. What kind of prototype do you need: 3D printed, CNC machined? I normally go with 3D prototypes and, if the product is successful, build soft tools (which cost around 70% less than final molds). This allows you to test & improve your product according to market needs... Success!
