At Plastomer Corporation, we offer comprehensive design services to help you develop the optimal foam and rubber solutions for your applications.
Our experienced engineering team works closely with customers throughout the design process, from concept development to production implementation. We provide expert guidance on material selection, design optimization, and manufacturing processes to ensure your products meet performance requirements while minimizing costs.
Whether you need assistance with a new product design or want to improve an existing application, our design services can help you achieve your goals.
We begin by thoroughly understanding your application requirements, including performance specifications, environmental conditions, regulatory compliance, and cost targets.
Based on your requirements, we recommend the optimal materials from our extensive portfolio of foams, rubbers, and other materials, considering factors such as density, compression, temperature resistance, and chemical compatibility.
Our engineering team develops design concepts that meet your functional requirements while optimizing for manufacturability and cost-effectiveness.
We create prototypes of your design for testing and validation, using our rapid prototyping capabilities to quickly iterate and refine the design based on performance feedback.
We conduct comprehensive testing to ensure your design meets all performance requirements, including physical properties, environmental resistance, and durability.
Once the design is validated, we develop a comprehensive production plan, including tooling design, process optimization, and quality control measures to ensure consistent, high-quality production.
When designing foam and rubber components, it's essential to consider the following material properties:
Our engineering team can help you select the optimal material based on your specific requirements.
To optimize your design for cost-effective manufacturing, consider these guidelines:
Our team can review your designs and suggest modifications to improve manufacturability while maintaining performance.
Different manufacturing processes have different capabilities and limitations. Consider these factors when selecting a process:
We can help you select the most appropriate manufacturing process based on your specific requirements and constraints.
Comprehensive testing is essential to ensure your design meets all requirements. Consider these testing approaches:
Our testing capabilities can help validate your design before full-scale production, reducing risk and ensuring performance.
The Advanced Quality and Design Planning Guide is offered as an indicator of our focus on customer satisfaction among engineers and quality personnel. It represents 60 years of experience in terms of "best practices" for the design, release, and use of efficient fabricated products, including those made from materials other than foam.
