I need a manufacturing partner who can reproduce the small “tail piece” that anchors the rear end of Merillat kitchen-drawer slides. The originals are injection-molded plastic and I want the new run produced in the same material, with no dimensional or design changes whatsoever—simply an exact copy of the factory part. To guarantee accuracy I will mail you a pristine sample from a lightly used drawer. Once you have scanned it, I expect a digital proof or first-article photo so I can compare measurements before we move to the production batch. The initial order is for 10 pieces to service my own kitchen, but if the replicas match perfectly I’m prepared to place a larger follow-on order for resale through my online store (these cabinets are common, so demand is likely). Please have the capability to: • 3D-scan or measure the sample with precision • Produce injection-mold tooling or an equivalent short-run process • Deliver clean, burr-free parts in the same off-white plastic used by Merillat (or as close as commercially available) Include lead time for the first articles and the cost per unit for both the 10-piece and a potential larger run.

I have previously worked on similar reverse-engineering and small-batch plastic reproduction projects where legacy injection-molded components were recreated from physical samples for exact fit replacement, especially in furniture hardware and cabinet mechanisms. Are you looking for a manufacturing partner who can accurately reproduce your Merillat drawer slide tail piece with zero dimensional changes and match the original material and function for direct drop-in replacement? For manufacturing, I can support short-run production using either high-resolution resin tooling with production-grade polymers or low-volume injection molding depending on cost efficiency for your initial batch. Once the first 10 units are validated, the same validated model can be scaled for larger production runs with consistent material selection to match the original off-white finish as closely as commercially available. Deliverables would include a verified CAD model, first article samples for dimensional approval, and production-ready parts for both initial and scaled orders, along with clear lead time and per-unit costing once the sample is reviewed.

Hi, The primary risk is dimensional drift from scanning, tooling shrinkage, or a subtle feature that is hidden on the original part; I will neutralize that risk by measuring critical datums and reporting first-article measurements before any production run. I note you require no dimensional or design changes whatsoever, and I will hold the geometry to those constraints. I have reproduced small injection-molded components for appliance hardware and furniture inserts using high-resolution 3D scanning, Solidworks reverse-engineering, and both prototype tooling and short-run injection. I have delivered parts in color-matched off-white thermoplastics and provided first-article photos and measured comparison tables for client approval. I can handle the mailed pristine sample, generate an accurate CAD master, and prepare tooling or an equivalent short-run process depending on volume. My first step is to scan your Merillat tail piece with a calibrated structured-light scanner, create a parametric Solidworks model, and produce a 3D-printed check-fit plus a short-run injection or prototype tool for the 10-piece order. I will send digital proofs and measured first-article photos for your approval prior to production. - Do you want the parts produced in the exact Merillat off-white shade or the closest commercially available match? - When can you mail the pristine sample and where should I ship the first-article photo set for approval? Looking forward to hearing from you, Christopher Quinn
