Prototyping

Our engineering staff is here to help you not only design your part for best molding practices but also to decide the most economical way to prototype. We offer three different solutions to suit your needs.

Machining: If only a few samples are needed to test the fit, form, and complete function testing in a material similar to the design material, machining may be the best way to go. Our Machining Department is capable of supplying a quick turnaround of those machined parts.

Aluminum or Soft Steel Tools: If molded samples are needed in the specific design material because the molded-in stress could affect the function tests, Diversified Plastics, Inc. can provide prototype or low quantity molds in a hurry. Actual lead times will vary depending on the complexity of the part design, but we have been able to supply tools in just two to three weeks. With the one-stop-shopping concept, Diversified Plastics, Inc. is able to help with part design, build the tool, run sample parts and provide a fully dimensioned First Article Report.

SLAs or Urethane molds: Diversified Plastics, Inc. has partnered with NuHill Technologies to supply SLA samples for form and fit testing and urethane molded parts for slightly larger quantities. Just seeing the part can be helpful and NuHill is able to supply SLA’s in just a matter of days. You may call us for more information.
