The development from startup to production has taken seven months and includes:
- Design refinement of Veo's 3D models, consultation on design, material selection, surface finish, and production optimization.
- Construction and manufacturing of injection molds.
- Sourcing of molded components.
- Commissioning and adjustment of molds after the first parts.
- Ongoing production.
Both toolmanufacturing and injection molding have taken place at Unika, contributing to the relatively quick process of improvements that could be made within hours instead of weeks. For Veo, it was crucial to avoid inefficient communication and delays, enabling them to quickly deploy the new generation of the camera to sports facilities worldwide.
Design-wise and technically demanding, the project involved several plastic components, including:
- Complex molds with high precision to enable:
- 2K molding on large surfaces.
- 2K molding on both sides of the hard mold.
- Differentiated thicknesses in 2K molding.
- Thread molding.
- High requirements for straightness in parts to ensure tightness with 2K molded seals and ease of assembly:
- Advanced strength and torsion simulations in collaboration with the customer.
- Flow analysis in mold flow.
- High number of ejector pins and molds with jaw mechanisms.
- Development of new TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material specifically for the task in collaboration with the material supplier, which:
- Provides a premium quality surface feel when handling the camera.
- Is scratch-resistant and acts as a seal between parts, ensuring the camera is waterproof and screws do not loosen over time.
Thank you for a great collaboration, Veo, and congratulations on your new camera.
