Plastic Design Elements

RGE has core competence in design for plastic injection moulding. Many RGE projects involve concept design

FEA and Moldflow analysis

RGE has a number of software packages in-house to produce detailed structural characteristics prior to design release. Coupled with support from the largest material suppliers of plastic in the World RGE is able to analyse all elements of a design before prototyping stage and accurately predict tool design before tool sign-off and GA approval.

Prototype - Plastic design to Prototype

RGE takes careful consideration in the creation of plastic design prototypes for structural, assembly and visual design approvals. RGE has considerable experience in prototyping plastic parts for the furniture industry creating prototypes rapidly in a customised CNC process.

Solid plastic blocks of material are used as building materials for individual plastic components. By using the correct material and machining the exact component from the plastic solid block RGE is able to produce a finished design that can be fully evaluated prior to any tool steel being cut. RGE has made many different parts in this way leading to a significantly shortened design and development lead time and in some cases FIRA approval of structural furniture components prior to tool start.

Tooling for Injection Moulding Plastic Design

With RGE involved in the design of your plastic component from the outset, plastic injection moulding tooling considerations are never overlooked. As tooling for plastic injection moulding is our core business RGE draws on over 40 years of experience to ensure that the component and the tool are as efficient and effective as possible, making full uyse of the benefits of polymers and plastic design techniques.
