SAFE Wallet X


Injection-Molding Tooling Design 

I have come across many customers who talk about the SAFE Wallet, and say naive things like, "How much could it cost to make a SAFE Wallet. All it is is a  little piece of cheap plastic." I understand why people would make such an assumption. If you are not intimately familiar with the injection-molding process, you might think the same thing. The drawing below shows our tool design for our SAFE Wallet for iPhone X model, which as you see is extremely complex and sophisticated.

If just one part of this tool does not perform properly, you cant injection mold parts. And this is the tool for just making the SAFE Wallet case body. There are separate tools required (not shown) for overmolding the TPU Bumper system, as well as separate tools for the wallet door body, as well as another tool for molding all the buttons.

The tool pictured above is made to work on a 75 Ton Tool, which is heavy duty. 

It is amazing how much we take for granted the world around us, and I am certain that is the case with the SAFE Wallet. This reminds me of one of my favorite Albert Einstein quotes, which says:

"A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend upon the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received." —Albert Einstein
