Design Principles for High-End Custom Products

Introduction

In the global sanitaryware value chain, "High-End Customization" has evolved from mere aesthetics to the pursuit of extreme physical performance and manufacturing efficiency. Leveraging experience in serving top-tier brands like Kohler and American Standard since 2006, Sunlets Technology has established a set of customization design principles spanning from requirement analysis to mass production.  

1. Digital Reconstruction: From 3D Scanning to Precise Modeling

The primary principle of high-end customization is the digital consistency of physical forms.

Tech-Driven: We utilize 3D scanners and CNC equipment to ensure high fidelity between the initial sketch and the final product, especially for complex geometries.  

R&D Depth: Our team of senior engineers, originating from industry leaders like TOTO , balances design intent with the demolding feasibility of High-Pressure Casting during the development phase.

2. Material Mechanics: Defining "High-End" via Physical Parameters

The premium feel of customized products stems from material strength invisible to the naked eye.

Density Metrics: Through high-pressure technology, we increase Green Body density by 15%-20%, ensuring that water absorption after Firing is consistently maintained at ≤0.5%.  

Casting Slip Optimization: For complex custom shapes, we precisely control the solids content (68%-72%) of the Casting Slip to eliminate drying cracks and boost yield rates.  

3. Process Compatibility: Synergy of Equipment and Molds

True customization efficiency lies in shortening the cycle from "Inspiration to Market."

Extended Mold Lifespan: Sunlets’ self-developed high-pressure resin molds boast a lifespan exceeding 10,000 cycles, supporting 10-12kg hydraulic pressure—a benchmark for high performance in the industry.  

Efficiency Dividend: We have reduced the single-piece molding cycle to 3-5 minutes, a 30%-50% efficiency gain over traditional plaster mold processes. This allows even small-batch premium orders to benefit from scaled cost structures.
