Product Design / Tool Design

Control Plastics leads the industry in custom injection molding services, product design, die casting and sheet metal fabricating, but that's just the beginning.   We're your one-stop-shop for all of the following:



Product Design

We'll help you optimize your product. Proper design requires the knowledge and balancing of four areas:

           *Part Design
           *Tool Design
           *Plastic Materials
           *Process (molding & secondary operations)

Control Plastics uses leading-edge computer technology such as Pro-Engineer, SolidWorks, MoldFlow and Cimatron for concept, design, engineering and manufacturing.

Need to alter or reverse-engineer a product? We can do it and create a solid model for your review and approval.



Tools

Our network of worldwide resources enables us to give you top performance at affordable prices. You'll get tool layouts and design criteria. We arrange all-inclusive maintenance contracts so you have no surprises or budget-blowers. We can go "paperless" from 3-D files or use conventional prints.

A major part of our die casting business is supplying custom injection molding services for U.S. molders and die casters. Our engineering company, Pyramids Technology, supervises and controls each step of the tooling production and testing from our offices in Taiwan and China. Our Facilities range in capabilities and specialties. Many are ISO 9000 and QS 9000 approved. Tooling status progress reports and other pertinent data are EMAILED TO our customers. We have capabilities to build injection molds for presses up to 2,500 tons. FTP sites are available for secure data transfers.



Materials

We work in all thermoplastics from olefins (PE, PP) styrenics, ABS and PVC to polycarbonates, nylons, polyesters, and sulphones (PES, PPS) and PEEK. We're also skilled in elastomers and rigids (flex PVC & TPE/TPU), structural foams and reinforced materials (graphites, minerals, glasses, etc.). We have experience with custom materials developed for special requirements. Many programs can be designed around materials which are post-consumer recycled or industrial scrap.



Secondary Operations

           *Silk Screening
           *Plating
           *RFI Coating
           *Hot Stamping
           *Machining
           *Painting
           *Assembly (electrical & mechanical)



Service

Case studies are created for all new projects that include mold flow, draft checks, and electronic assembly of components for fit checks. Clients can view the status of their programs from our secure site on the Internet, OR JUST RECEIVE EMAILS WITH THE INFORMATION This includes tooling status reports, in-progress tool photos, physical part inspection reports, tool steel supplier specs, machine process run sheets, and even videos of mold trials, WHEN REQUESTED
