From Prototype to Production:
Fibox’s Industrialization and Manufacturing Expertise

1. Planning for Production: From Design to Delivery

What It Means:
We begin every production ramp-up with a detailed plan that aligns your product requirements with our manufacturing capabilities. This includes:

• Capacity planning and resource allocation
• Timeline and milestone definition
• Risk assessment and mitigation

Why It Matters:
This ensures a smooth transition from prototype to mass production, minimizing delays and surprises.

2. Equipment and Capacity: Built for injection molding

What It Means:
Fibox operates a fleet of advanced injection molding machines optimized for engineered plastics. We match machine size, clamping force, and automation level to your part’s complexity and volume.

Why It Matters:
This guarantees consistent quality and efficient cycle times, even for high-volume or multi-cavity molds.

3. FOT and PPAP: Validating Every Detail

What It Means:

• FOT (First-Off Tooling): The first molded parts from the production tool are evaluated for dimensional accuracy and functionality. These are not final parts, but tests to check parts are meeting the requirements. Final aesthetical look will be later applied once the part meets dimensional accuracy and functionality
• PPAP (Production Part Approval Process): A formal validation process used in automotive and regulated industries to ensure parts meet all specifications before mass production.

Why It Matters:
These steps ensure that your parts are production-ready and compliant with industry standards.

4. Mass Production: Reliable, Scalable, Repeatable

What It Means:
Once validated, your product enters full-scale production. Fibox ensures:

• Stable process parameters
• Real-time monitoring and traceability
• On-time delivery and inventory management

Why It Matters:
You get consistent quality at scale—whether you need thousands or millions of parts.

5. Secondary Processes and Assemblies

What It Means:
Beyond molding, we offer:

• Ultrasonic welding
• Pad printing and laser marking
• Mechanical assembly and packaging

Why It Matters:
This reduces your supplier base and simplifies your supply chain.

6. High Quality Standards and Validations

What It Means:
We follow strict validation protocols, including:

• IQ/OQ/PQ (Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualification)
• Statistical process control (SPC)
• Capability studies (CPK, PPK)

Why It Matters:
This is especially critical for customers in healthcare, industrial, and electronics sectors where failure is not an option.

7. NPI and Continuous Improvement

What It Means:
Our New Product Introduction (NPI) process ensures that every new part is launched with a focus on manufacturability, cost-efficiency, and scalability. Post-launch, we apply continuous improvement practices like:

• Lean manufacturing
• Root cause analysis
• Process optimization

Why It Matters:
You benefit from lower costs, fewer defects, and faster lead times over the product’s lifecycle.
