FROM CONCEPT TO FINISHED PRODUCT
Product Development, Prototyping and Part Design
From the moment we pour our first cup of coffee in the morning, to the time we go to sleep at night, the Bennett Plastics team lives and breathes product design and development. Since 1982, our plastic injection molding company has been developing high-quality parts at competitive prices, and we've helped thousands of businesses find and develop their ideal part. Our experienced design plastic injection molding company works hand-in-hand with your business to identify needs, create solutions, and deliver a high-quality, mass-producible part. With our end-to-end, prototype-to-product plastic injection molding service, we can deliver a superior product to you without the need to jump between manufacturers and product design plastic injection molding companies.
What is Prototyping and Part Design?
They say every part starts with an idea. At Bennett Plastics, our plastic injection molding company thinks every part begins with a few good ideas, plenty of concept generation and product research, and a good helping of a plastic injection molding company. Parts prototyping involves transforming ideas into proofs-of-concept, transforming those concepts into working prototypes, and turning those prototypes into fully-functioning plastic injection parts ready for mass production.
During this process, parts will need to be designed using a combination of technical acumen and skilled labor. While there are many different forms of plastic injection mold prototyping, they all work towards the same solution — producing a tangible part that can be tested and later produced at-scale.
Since we're a prototyping-to-product plastic injection molding company, we focus on rapid prototyping procedures that help reduce frictions in the prototyping plastic injection molding process, which iterates results faster for our clients. That means producing functioning prototypes for test runs, which leads to more precision and faster speeds than our competitors.
How Bennett Plastics Approaches Prototyping and Part Design
There are hundreds of unique prototyping plastic injection molding methods that you will see utilized for parts (both plastic and metal) across the country. At Bennett Plastics, we can help rapid prototype an amazing idea into an amazing part, using best-in-class strategies and cutting-edge technology. Depending upon the needs of the part, we can utilize the following services to help create, and mass produce your ideal plastic injection molding part at a competitive price.
Our prototyping and part design process starts with a sit-down. Our part design and prototyping plastic injection molding company will communicate with your business to help align goals, determine needs, and discover opportunities for your parts. Our plastic injection molding company will design your part using all of the following considerations:
- Cost:
Everything from the actions in the mold, to the mold itself, will produce costs. We calculate every variable to design a competitive, cost-effective part for your business.
- Uniformity:
Since plastic is being utilized as the product material, thickness needs to be accounted for carefully. Plastic shrinks as it cools, which can lead to part defects if it's not designed properly. Ensuring appropriate thickness can prevent defects (like warping and sink marks) from occurring.
- Durability:
Holes, ribs, bosses, and many other parts additions can increase durability, reduce weight, and improve part-to-cost ratios.
- Material:
There are thousands of plastic resins that can be leveraged to create your part. We'll find the right one at the right price for your part.
Once we understand your vision, we execute it. With state-of-the-art plastic injection molding, we can transform ideas into objects that you can touch, feel, and utilize.
We can help you create:
- High-quality, functional, and to-scale part models, using state-of-the-art injection molding techniques.
- 3D-printed, to-scale prototypes, that let you inspect the part in detail, without costs associated with molding the part.
- CAD capabilities that leverage computer aid to create incredibly accurate, detailed, and durable parts at a competitive cost.
Once you’ve approved your prototype we'll help you:- Mass produce your parts using any (or all) of our 11 plastic injection molding machines which range from 75 to 400 tons of pressure.
- Design the appropriate part plastic injection molds to support high-production part volume at a competitive price.
- Store, pick, and ship all parts on-site.
- Provide on-site value-added services like packaging, decorating, blister packaging, printing, etc. on-site.
The Value of Rapid Part Prototyping and Injection Molding
Often, we start the part design process via a 3D printer. This printer allows us to manufacture quick plastic inject molding prototypes that are cost effective and can serve as a template going forward. During this stage, parts can be carefully inspected for any potential issues. Once the part is designed, our plastic injection molding company moves onto the prototyping phase.
During prototyping, our plastic injection molding company leverage rapid injection molding. Not only do plastic injection molded parts have near perfect finishes, but they're the industry standard for plastic part production for a reason — they produce high-quality parts at a cost-effective price. We can use a vast range of plastic resin material to produce parts, and all of our prototyped parts are predictive of mass-produced parts.
That means you get a real, functional, quality part to test before you commit to at-scale production. This can save you time, money, and plenty of headaches.
