Validation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project Overview:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inter Rubber, an IATF 16949 certified automotive rubber manufacturer in Thailand, partnered with a Japanese automotive manufacturer to develop engine air and drainage hose components, converting the manufacturing process from rubber extrusion to injection<br>molding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process change reduced production cost while maintaining equivalent component performance, with improved dimensional consistency and production stability for high-volume automotive applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Solution:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inter Rubber re-engineered the manufacturing approach by converting the process from rubber extrusion to precision injection molding, enabling tighter control over part geometry and sealing interfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engineering scope included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mold redesign and cavity optimization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Injection parameter stabilization for consistent part quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100% leak test validation protocol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Process capability verification for
