Plastics Design Process

Our main design package is SolidWorks. It enables us to create individual components and then complete assemblies from those components to prove fit and form. We can accept all the commonly used interface file formats for exchanging files between different packages.

Part of the process we will go through with you is design for manufacturing. Through a process of consultation we will listen to your product lifecycle expectations and discuss any other pertinent factors about your product (such as materials, surface finish etc) to suggest the most cost effective method for taking your concept through to manufacture, be it through prototyping, production of injection tooling or simply the creation of high quality graphics and animations to represent your product for marketing and funding purposes. These will all feedback into the product development and design stage so that the end result is suited to the manufacturing method required.

Analysis is then possible in order to prove suitability for moulding, strength and rigidity of the component right down to the actual weight of the component in the required material.

From here there are a number of different options that can be used to create rapid prototypes to prove the design, including stereolithography, machining and silicon moulding where necessary (if the detail and/or material requirement is not achievable using SLA or machine processes).
