Injected molded plastic is a widely common technology that is used for the manufacturing of many products in a variety of industries, applications, sizes and polymer types. Injected molded plastic has significant advantages such as high and consistent precision, cost-effectiveness (for large-scale manufacturing) and high production speed. However the design, development and manufacturing of plastic products requires a lot of knowledge and know-how both in the design of the product and the management of the manufacturing process. In this post we will explain what is injection molding, what are the industrial design processes of plastic products, and what are the main considerations when designing for plastic. Let’s get started!
In this post we hope to demystify the term “product development” by sharing with you our personal design process in our studio. While this process changes considerably from project to project, according to the project's subject, stage, scope, needs and time & budget limitations, there are still a few constant stages that we do in almost every project and which we will explain here. So let's get to it!
