TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Gotoh's Solution

CASE07. Design & Development Efficiency

Customer Challenges

Prototype valuation takes too much time

  • Need for low to medium quantity die-cut sample production
  • Need for prototype validation across shaped strip materials and plating specifications
  • Need for rapid delivery of mock-up sample

Design Change & Shape Verification Effort

  • Initial evaluation samples needed
  • Support for frequent design and shape changes
  • Need for custom modifications to existing products

Complex Lead Frame Designs with Custom Modifications

  • Need for specialized processing (e.g., Bending, Grooving, Riveting, and Singulation)
  • Need to verify manufacturability for mass production (e.g., Lead movement during stress relief and flatness changes)
  • Shapes difficult to make a sample with prototype tooling

Our Solutions

Prototype Sample Production by NC Press

  • High-Precision NC Punching for low to medium quantity samples
  • Prototype evaluation with production equivalent materials and plating
  • Mock-Up samples in as little as 1-Day

Rapid Sample Production by Laser Cutting

  • Rapid sample production using only CAD data
  • Supports small-quantity samples for initial evaluation, as well as frequent design and shape changes
  • Can accommodate custom modifications to existing products

Additional Processing via Forming Press

  • Supports for additional forming operations using prototype tooling and various press machines (e.g., Bending, Grooving, Riveting, and Singulation)
  • Mass production feasibility verification without using progressive die tooling (e.g., Lead movement during stress relief and flatness changes)

Customer Benefits
