Small Plastic Parts Projects

With over 500 parts to chose from, we can only share a sampling of our work.  Our more unique projects are profiled here, demonstrating our capabilities and perhaps offering some ideas for you. Though some of these parts can be complicated, plenty of our projects are "simple" small parts. 

Metal to Plastic for Metal Replacement

Challenge — Our client challenged us to come up with a cost effective solution for replacing a key metal piece with a plastic substitute in the hope of providing them with an alternative that would reduce weight, noise, and cost. This is a critical piece to the client's overall product and would greatly impove efficiency, allowing for a larger demand to be met.

Results — After several revisions, our in-house designers came up with a new design using small plastic parts suited to meet the client's standards. Through this redesign we were able to help them achieve:

  • 30% reduction in overall weight
  • 23% reduction in cost per piece
  • 48% noise reduction

“The designers at AIM really knocked this out of the park. they really thought through the design to ensure that the piece would meet our expectations. We will definitely be looking forward working with AIM for all of our future projects.”
