MIHOX Journal · Blog archive
Two streams in one record: MIHOX Updates from Mi-Ho and Boyuan, and industry & technical notes on tooling, materials and production. This is the working archive behind the factory, not a press-release feed.
Company updates are written from the factory. Technical articles are reviewed with the engineering, tooling, production or QC function involved. Client names and unreleased work are not published without permission. For confidential files, start with the NDA route.

04 / Editorial standards
The journal is edited by the MIHOX team in Dongguan. Technical review comes from the factory function involved: engineering, tooling, production or QC. The aim is a useful production note, not a generic keyword page.
We publish the process, the constraint and the trade-off. If a topic cannot be supported by factory experience or a verifiable source, it does not go up as a technical guide.
For the full production sequence, see the manufacturing guide.
About the team behind MIHOX →Technical claims are checked against the process, tooling and QC work involved.
We describe the material, sample stage or production constraint — not just the outcome.
Publish dates are shown by the article template. Material corrections and updates are made on the article itself.
General guidance is not a quotation, NDA or approval for a specific project.
