How Does Our Project Design Team Work?
- Concept Assessment - assess your goals and create the design brief - working out how we'll run the project to best deliver your goals
- Preliminary Design - using our knowledge and expertise to create the best product design for your needs
- Design For Manufacturability - keeping the manufacturing process front of mind at every stage
- 3D Printing And Rapid Prototyping - Eliminate potential design issues
Concept Assessment
Our team of product design experts help you assess the most efficient way to build your dream product. Whether what material is it or which industry products, we can sort out what you need and who you need to talk to.
During the Concept Assessment process, we seek to identify not only your needs but those of your customers and business stakeholders.
In order to take complete advantage of the value that injection molding can deliver, parts need to be designed with manufacturing in mind. We like to work with our clients on the front end of the process by reviewing their idea or designs and offering suggestions that will help make the project a success.
We always start a new project with a clear design brief. Providing you and the wider project team with clear direction and easy to read and comprehend project road map.

Material Recommendation
Material selection is a critical part of high quality/low cost/fast production plastic injection molded parts and products. When it comes to selecting the right material, it takes experience, expertise and discussion to balance all of these factors prior to makiing a mold, as addressing specific needs early in the design process is key to avoiding costly changes later.
Physical design is only half the challenge when creating a part. Equally important is determining the best polymers or composite materials to be used to make your part based on its intended application. What temperature ranges and environments will the part function in? What type of forces or stresses will it be exposed to? Does it need to withstand sudden shocks or impacts? Is surface appearance important and will it need to be painted? These are just some of the considerations that go into selecting the right materials and additives to be used for any part.
We have the experience and are able to offer injection moulding in any type of thermoplastic polymer. The variety of different thermoplastics, from basic commodity polymers to advanced and specialised engineering grades, is wide. We have the expertise to advise on materials’ suitability and carry out necessary trials

Design for Manufacturability(DFM)
We providing a comprehensive array of engineering expertise in plastics. By utilizing the latest technology for plastics flow simulation software, our Design For Manufacturability (DFM) process is hands down some of the best in the industry. With completing a full analysis of the products geometry, we are able to uncover significant opportunity for part design improvements that typically either reduce overall costs or increase the efficiency during the production process.
At every stage of the design phase, we consider how design choices impact manufacturing options. When designing a part, there are many variables, like size, shape, and thickness. Not only will the geometry of a part dictate how it will look, but also how it will be manufactured.
Quality products stem from good design. we collaborates with clients on sustainable product development and our team of experienced engineering staff members work with the latest technology to develop quality plastic parts.
Our Engineering Team has over 20+ years of experience in custom injection molding, and we protect all of our clients from costly mistakes that are identified during the early stages of development.

3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping
3D printing and rapid prototyping offers a proactive approach to processing problems or potential concerns that can be solved before full production manufacturing begins. It can provide valuable and cost-saving insights into potential manufacturability and quality issues. Our engineers can provide consultation to determine the proper raw materials for your plastic component’s specifications and requirements. it have many advantages:
- Product design review offers solutions prior to production
- Correct early design flaws
- Provides components quickly to visualize and analyze
- Develop quality inspection parameters prior to production
- Manufacture product fixtures prior to production
- Provides overall cost-savings through general part-analysis
- Preview potential problems
Custom plastic products design consideation
We offer free part design consultations to help our customers avoid the costly burden of needing to re-design or modify mold later in the product development cycle. Products design for injection molding can be made simple and save develop cost with the right knowledge or suggestion in the early stage. Some of the main topics for injection molding part design reviews include:
- Maintaining consistent wall thicknesses if available
- Proper draft angles and parting line
- Avoiding sharp corners
- Undercut, thread, etc. structure feasibility manufacturing
- Proper plastic material selection
- Advanced target cost planning
- Gate type, quantity and location
