Prototype manufacturing in engineering plastics
We manufacture plastic prototypes and ensure that your product meets your requirements, with the prototype serving as a basis for adjustments before mass production. With solid expertise in material selection, design, and sustainability, we can develop a tailored solution based on your needs.
How we carry out prototype manufacturing in construction plastics
Prototype manufacturing is an essential part of the project process, where we carry out single or small-batch production of a new product or design. The prototype serves as an initial model, providing an opportunity to evaluate and refine the product before commencing mass production.
This is a flexible and efficient method that provides a preview of how the finished product will look and function. If we are involved early in your design phase, we can contribute expertise in both material selection and design to help prevent issues later in the project.
How does the process work?
In our process, your request or idea is handled through a structured flow where we analyse your needs, requirements, and opportunities. Your request is taken care of by our preparation team, where we have gathered expertise and experience to be able to offer the most sustainable and effective solution.
Prototype production in different plastic materials
At Carlsson & Möller, we offer prototype manufacturing in various plastic materials to meet all needs, from thermoplastics and thermosets to technical ceramics and rubber. All our plastic materials are suitable for both prototype production and subsequent mass processing.
Technologies and methods used
Our CNC machining used to create prototypes with very accurate shapes and tight tolerances. The method is particularly well-suited for advanced geometry, small series, or parts that require ongoing revision changes. With CNC technology, we can maintain high precision and consistent quality even in the most demanding projects.
For complex shapes and smaller details, we offer 3D printing. This additive technique allows for rapid prototyping of complex designs that can be difficult or impossible to manufacture using traditional methods. 3D printing is also an effective way to test functionality and fit before mass production commences.
Design and testing with prototypes in engineering plastics
Prototyping is used daily in modern product development. The goal is more cost-effective production, as well as developing products based on real demand. A design team can go from idea to physical prototype in a short time, thereby accelerating the entire development cycle.
Advantages of prototyping
- Faster development processBy manufacturing prototypes, we can quickly test and improve designs to reduce lead times and increase the chances of identifying and resolving problems early.
- Better cost controlDiscovering design flaws or opportunities for improvement with a prototype is more cost-effective than making changes after mass production has begun.
- More effective communication and decision-makingPhysical prototypes make it easier to bounce ideas around within the development team and to decision-makers, which in turn facilitates investment decisions.
- Smoother quality assurancePrototyping offers the opportunity to test mechanical and chemical strength, user experience, and safety before production of your products begins.
