Materials and Structure
Material: Flame-resistant ABS (compound containing FR additives) meeting EU RoHS directive 2011/65/EU. Provides excellent impact resistance and heat deflection temperature suitable for under-hood and lighting environments.
Structure: Complex 3D rib structure designed for optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio. Features include snap-fit assembly points, alignment pins, and cooling channels (mold side) to ensure uniform wall thickness and reduce warpage.
Applications
- Automotive headlight and taillight housings
- Daytime running light bezels and reflectors
- Interior ambient lighting components
- Vehicle lighting system structural supports
Customization
We offer full customization from design to production. Services include:
- DFM (Design for Manufacturing) analysis and mold flow simulation
- Prototype development and T1 sample approval
- Material selection assistance (e.g., alternative FR grades, PC/ABS blends)
- Secondary operations: pad printing, laser marking, ultrasonic welding

FAQ
What is the typical lead time for a custom automotive lighting part?
Lead time depends on complexity. Typically, mold fabrication takes 25–35 days, followed by T1 samples within 5–7 days. Mass production can start after sample approval.
Can you achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating with ABS?
Yes. Our flame-resistant ABS formulation passes UL94 V-0 testing as verified by our material suppliers. We can provide test reports upon request.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is negotiable. For mold projects, a single custom mold is acceptable. For production parts, MOQ depends on part size and material; we support low to high volumes.
Do you provide DFM and mold flow analysis?
Yes. We provide DFM analysis and mold flow simulation before mold fabrication to identify potential issues and optimize part design.
How do you ensure quality during mass production?
We implement in-process inspection, first article inspection (FAI), and final quality check before shipment. Our ISO 9001:2015 quality system governs all processes.
Can you integrate metal inserts during molding?
Yes. We can insert metal fasteners, threaded inserts, or bushings during the molding process for secure assembly.
What payment terms are available?
Typically 50% T/T advance for mold start, 50% balance after mold approval or before shipment. Flexible terms can be discussed for long-term projects.
Do you offer IP protection for custom designs?
Yes. We sign NDA and keep all designs confidential. No third-party access without client permission.
