Injection Molding Process
Injection molding is a manufacturing process where molten plastic material is injected into a mold, and after cooling and solidifying, it forms the desired parts. This is a common plastic molding method used extensively for producing various plastic products such as components, containers, toys, and more.

Wearable - ABS Material
This is a sports monitoring device manufactured using injection molding technology and ABS material. The surface texture of the product is created in the mold using a texturing process, ensuring consistency across subsequent production runs.
Material | ABS |
Process | Injection Mold |
Color | Black |
Finish | Mold Texturing |
Precision | ±0.1 mm |
Mold Lead Time | 35 calendar days |
Production Lead Time | 1000 pcs every 7 - 10 working days |
Yield | 92% (measured on 1000 pcs) |
The factories producing textured surfaces typically provide effect samples, from which you can choose. Finer textures offer better scratch resistance. After completing the texturing process, modifications can be made, but if modifications affect the appearance, dimensions, or structure, the texturing process may be disrupted and require redoing.

Color | Transparent |
Mold Lead Time | 35 calendar days |
Production Lead Time | 2000 pcs every 15 - 20 days |
Precision | ±0.05 mm |
Yield | 95% (measured on 2000 pcs) |
Note: There are two important points to consider for this product. Firstly, the material should be of food-grade quality with extremely low water absorption, as material absorption can affect monitoring data. Secondly, alcohol is corrosive to most polymer materials and can cause surface cracking. Therefore, we conduct testing with alcohol concentrations higher than those in actual use environments. If your product faces similar conditions, please pay attention to these two points.
