When a new customer orders a custom solid surface bathtub, the journey from concept to production involves multiple steps to ensure the final product meets its specifications. The process includes designing, mold making, and testing to guarantee that every detail is perfected before mass production begins. Below is a step-by-step guide to the production process of a custom bathtub, ensuring high quality and precision.
Step 1: Initial Design and 3D Modeling
The first step in the custom bathtub creation process is the design phase. The customer provided an effect drawing and the approximate dimensions of the bathtub they desired. Based on this information, we create an initial 3D model and preliminary design for the customer to review.
During this stage, the customer can review the model and mark any required modifications. The model might undergo several revisions, with the customer providing feedback on every new version. This iterative process continues until both parties are satisfied with the final design. Only once the customer is pleased with the design will it proceed to the next phase.
Step 2: Mold Making
Once the final design is confirmed, we move on to mold making. This phase is handled by a specialized mold factory that focuses on producing solid-surface molds. The factory uses the confirmed design to create a tempered steel mold for the bathtub.
During mold production, the factory will ensure that the mold includes precise dimensions corresponding to the final product, guaranteeing accurate bathtub manufacturing. This step is essential for ensuring that the custom bathtub will be made to the exact specifications. The mold-making process typically takes 25 to 30 days to complete.
Step 3: Mold Testing
After the mold has been completed, it is sent back to our factory for mold testing. This phase ensures the mold produces the desired result when applying the solid surface material. During this test, we produce a prototype bathtub using the mold and inspect it thoroughly to ensure it meets the customer’s expectations.
Once the test model is ready, we send it to the customer for approval. If the prototype is approved, we will move forward to large-scale production. If any adjustments are needed, we make the necessary changes before proceeding. This phase ensures the customer is delighted with the final product before mass production begins.
Step 4: Large-Scale Production
After the mold is approved and any final adjustments are made, the production of the custom bathtubs begins. Our skilled team follows strict quality control procedures to ensure every bathtub produced meets the high standards set in the initial design phase. The finalized bathtubs are prepared for shipping, ensuring they arrive in perfect condition and on schedule.
Customizing a bathtub, from the initial design to mold testing and production, ensures that the final product fits your bathroom perfectly. By working closely with customers throughout every production stage, we guarantee that the bathtub will meet their exact specifications and exceed expectations. Whether you’re looking for a sleek freestanding tub or a custom shape, the journey to your ideal bathtub is precise and thorough, resulting in a high-quality product that suits your needs perfectly.
