To optimize its manufacturing process, Precision X-Ray transitioned its Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) fabrication from its previous vendor to Exothermic Molding, Inc., seeking enhanced production efficiency.
After conducting thorough due diligence, analyzing Exothermic's digital presence, industry publications documenting their project portfolio, and direct consultations with their technical team, Precision X-Ray committed to the partnership.
"We can deliver extremely aggressive lead times now – 4 to 6 weeks for mold building and 3 weeks for production; that impressed Precision X-Ray,"
The project went through Exothermic's comprehensive Critical Requirements Overview (CRO) phase, which involves a detailed examination of technical specifications and engineering documentation.
Exothermic's in-house engineering team implemented several technical refinements, including optimized wall thickness parameters and strategic ribbing placement, to enhance structural integrity while maintaining aesthetic standards.
A critical technological differentiator in Exothermic's solution was their implementation of Proxxima®, an advanced thermoset resin developed using Nobel Prize-winning chemistry.
This proprietary material, trademarked by Materia, Inc., offers superior mechanical properties, including enhanced durability and reduced mass density, enabling the design as mentioned earlier optimizations.
The partnership yielded additional economic benefits through Exothermic's batch processing methodology, which allowed for the amortization of setup costs across larger production volumes. This resulted in improved cost efficiency for Precision X-Ray's manufacturing operations.
