Plastic Product Design – Only the Best is Required!

If we think of the industries that use plastic for their products, the list is probably endless. The car that you drive, the mobile phone that you carry, the computer on which you work, the aircraft in which you travel are but a few common examples where the use of plastic is observed. Any industry that  needs plastic for its products would certainly demand the most superior quality material and this is possible only with an efficient product design service. 

Due to the increased demand for plastic products, it is also imperative to supply the material in shortest period of time, without compromising on quality. A plastic product design company may choose to use rapid prototyping, stereo-lithography prototyping, rapid tooling or injection molding methods as per the requirements of its client, and the kind of use that plastic can be put to in other products as well. Concepts are also supported on their software tools to derive a good understanding of its reaction to a number of potential situations. 

For a good plastic product design, it is imperative to begin with quality components. Best results can be achieved with injection molded parts when the following points are taken care of: 

  • The wall thickness must be uniform throughout the part. This will minimize warping, sinking, residual stress, and will improve mold fill and cycle times.
  • Generous radius must be used at all corners.
  • Parts should be designed to expedite easy withdrawal from the mold by providing draft (taper) in the direction of mold opening or closing.
  • Ribs or gussets should be used to improve part stiffness in bending. This avoids the use of thick section to achieve the same, thereby saving on part weight, material cost and cycle time costs.
