Consulting and Engineering to Optimize Your Part Design
Plasform are plastic material engineering experts. We provide plastic part design consulting services to optimize your part designs for manufacturing.
Designing what may seem to be a simple part can be actually more challenging than anticipated. Besides designing a quality part, cost and assembly must also be taken into consideration to maximize the lifetime value of the part and its mold.
Some questions that may be encountered when designing a part:
- Which material/grade should I use?
- How to optimize my design for system cost reduction?
- Is my concept reliable?
- How to design the best part assembly solutions?
- How to ease or minimize secondary operations?
- How and where can I test my part performances?
Optimized Part Design
Plasform provides part design consulting services to ensure a cost-effective and optimized plastic part solution for our clients. We are known for our creativity and innovation during design consultation, and pride ourselves for being able to think out of the box.
Examples of optimizing parts include consolidating multiple parts and eliminating unnecessary features to reduce cost for tooling and simplifying assembly. In-depth knowledge of plastic properties is crucial during material selection to ensure that the part is strong, rigid or flexible, corrosion-resistant, etc to perform in its intended application.
