Design and development for production in the specialised area of injection moulding, is a highly technical and complex discipline. Well-qualified engineers, industrial designers and tool-makers team up to produce real-world solutions.

 

In order to orchestrate and sequence a complex development process requires a particular management skill-set coupled to a thorough design and development methodology. This has become known as 'The Design Process'

 

The typical sequence is:

• Real-world requirements as a brief

• Research into function, materials and processes

• Concept generation and ideas

• Best concept option selection

• Design refinement with CAD

• Component design

• Tooling Design

• Manufacture of tooling die sets

• Trial component runs

• Tooling tweaks and finalisation

• Final tooling for production

• Production runs
