Design and Manufacture

Plastic Developments brings you a wealth of experience and the ability to deal with every aspect of your design. We are able to bring nearly 25 years of designing to bear, successfully delivering projects through to manufacture and production.

Our in-house team can deal with all aspects of your requirements from the initial design concept, through its development and 3D CAD design, management of toolmaking, initial sampling and prototyping, through to production.

Project Management

Having once designed and developed your product, Plastic Developments are committed to ensuring that all aspects of the project are run as efficiently as possible.

Each project is assigned its own project leader to ensure that the customer has one point of contact throughout the tooling and development stage and through to production.

Tooling

The tooling used in rotational moulding is produced from either steel or aluminium and is relatively low in cost when compared to tools for other processes such as blow or injection moulding.

We use only the best toolmakers available in New Zealand who offer the most effective cost, quality of tooling and the best realisation of the tool.

Materials

Dependent on the product application, a number of polymers are used including low, medium and high density polyethylene.

A polymer can be found to meet almost any requirement for impact resistance, temperature stability, chemical resistance, colour, UV stability and durability. Recent developments in additive technology now allow us to produce mouldings of high performance for specialist applications such as Fire Retardant, Anti-static/Conductive and anti-microbial/bacterial.
