CPC Plastics, Inc. specializes in total plastic product design solutions- From hand drawn sketches on a napkin to prototypes and even high volume production, CPC Plastics' product design engineers have the experience, technology, and the in-house resources that are required to mold ideas into functional plastic products.

As you know, there is more to plastic product design than simply aesthetic quality. For instance, although a plastic part may physically appealing, only an experienced plastics expert can guarantee that the product will function as intended, without costly revisions and time delays.

Today's Top 5 Most Common Mistakes In Plastic Part and Tooling Design
1. Overlooking the critical step of design review will lead to a stagnation of ideas and options. A larger team of peers from varying plastic backgrounds will finesse the overall plan into a marketable product, with typically less cost, time, and headaches.

2. Responsible plastic product design follows a natural progression from napkin or concept through design reviews and 3D modeling. Neglect to follow responsible design practices leads to costly errors and overruns.

3. When retrofitting a tool, the practice of using an existing, or used, mold from will typically incur 10% to 20% more labor costs due to the need to "plug or slot" existing water circuits.

4. The trend of "shoehorning" a larger part into a smaller mold frame to save money, allways cost more in the long run. When rules for sizing and safety factors are ignored, or neglected, the likelihood of tool damage and/or personal injury increases.

5. Incorrect placement of water or oil circuits when laying out cavity blocks, screw, or insert location, will cost you down the road in the form of excessive cycle times. However, consistant and proper circuit design will pay you money every cycle and overall part quality.
