Holistic plastics product development: from idea to finished component

An outstanding and economical plastic product requires a well-thought-out approach from the very beginning. As your experienced engineering partner, we accompany you through the entire product development process – we analyse your requirements, advise you on material selection and feasibility, and thus lay the foundation for efficient, cost-saving series production.

Production-oriented design for rotational moulding

Designing for rotational moulding places entirely different technical demands on a component than, for example, injection moulding or blow moulding. This is where our decades of expertise come into play.

We optimise your design as early as the development phase with regard to the specific characteristics of the rotational sintering process. This includes planning uniform wall thicknesses, calculating ideal draft angles, accounting for material-specific shrinkage behaviour and avoiding material accumulations. This ensures that your product is later not only functional and durable, but can also be manufactured reliably and to the highest quality.

  • Uniform wall thicknesses
  • Ideal draft angles
  • Shrinkage behaviour considered
  • No material accumulations
  • Process-reliable manufacturing

Precise implementation: modern CAD design for plastics

The basis for every perfect production tool is a flawless, three-dimensional data model. Using state-of-the-art software solutions, we handle professional CAD design for plastics.

We translate your first sketches, existing 2D drawings or concrete ideas into high-precision 3D CAD data. In this step we virtually check the component for its later practical suitability and prepare it optimally for the subsequent mould and tool making. Through this precise preliminary work we reduce expensive iteration loops to an absolute minimum and considerably shorten your time-to-market.

  • High-precision 3D CAD data
  • From sketches & 2D drawings
  • Virtual component testing
  • Fewer iteration loops
  • Shorter time-to-market
