TECHNOLOGY BLOG
Technical articles on moulding, sealing, finishing and assembly — written to help define clearer requirements and better manufacturing routes.
LATEST TECHNICAL ARTICLES
Each article focuses on the decisions that should be made before requesting a quote, approving a process or releasing a component for serial production.
Foam gasketing and potting serve different functions. The enquiry should identify whether the project needs a sealing joint, encapsulated components or both.
SUPPLIER ILLUSTRATIONFor a plastic luminaire component, the moulded geometry, surface finish, sealing joint and assembly requirements need to be considered together.

FROM QUESTION TO SPECIFICATION
Good manufacturing discussions begin with clear product requirements, not a process name alone.
What must the component or enclosure do?
Loads, environment, appearance and interfaces
Moulding, finishing, sealing and assembly
Critical dimensions, tests and documentation
Drawings, materials, quantity and requirements

WHY INTEGRATEDWHAT TO SEND WITH AN ENQUIRY
2D drawing or 3D model, component function and mating parts.
Specified grade or operating requirements where the grade is not fixed.
Temperature, chemicals, outdoor exposure, protection and service environment.
Expected annual quantity and any existing-tool information.
Dimensions, appearance, sealing interfaces and functional checks.
Identify moulding, finishing, sealing, machining or assembly needed.
The Technology Blog covers practical manufacturing questions related to plastic moulding, materials, DFM, sealing, potting, surface finishing, assembly and coordinated production routes.
No. A process name such as FIPFG gasketing, potting or vacuum metallizing does not by itself guarantee a protection rating, optical result or service life. Performance must be defined and verified for the complete component or assembly.
Send the available drawing or 3D model, material requirements, component function, operating conditions, expected volumes, existing-tool information and the required finishing, sealing, machining or assembly operations.
Each article and topic card links to the relevant Vesimentor capability page. The complete manufacturing overview is available on the Services & Productions page.
