    Share Your Concept or Existing Design

    Getting started can be as simple as submitting a rough sketch, or as advanced as providing a fully developed CAD file. No matter where you are in the development cycle, our team will help you evaluate, refine, and prepare your concept for manufacturing. For customers with existing molds or parts, we can provide a smooth transition into production, ensuring compatibility and performance.

    Develop a Prototype

    Depending on your goals, we may recommend creating a prototype. Prototypes are useful for validating form and function, securing customer interest, and preparing for full-scale production. We’ll help you assess whether a prototype is necessary and guide you through material and design decisions for rapid, cost-effective prototyping.

    Design and Build the Mold

    For new product development, the next step is mold design. We take into account part complexity, material selection, production volume, and end-use conditions to ensure a precise and durable mold. Our experienced team manages this process from concept through mold validation, including test shots to confirm quality and performance before full production.

    Select the Right Plastic Material

    Material selection plays a key role in the success of your part. We’ll guide you in choosing the best resin for your application, balancing technical needs and budget. Considerations may include:

    • Strength and durability
    • Surface finish and color
    • Flexibility vs. rigidity
    • Environmental resistance
    • Cost-effectiveness


    Producing a consumer product or an industrial component, we’ll help you find the optimal material for your application!
