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. 

A Solution to Shattering Stock

Challenge — A manufacturer of specialized measuring equipment was experiencing problems in their assembly process. Overmolded lens were shattering during ultrasonic welding. After they moved their tooling to our location, we enlisted the help of the client, the material manufacturer, and a toolmaker in researching the problem.

Results — We discovered that the previous molder had been manufacturing this part in their smallest press – one that wasn’t nearly small enough for the task at hand. Consequently, the material suffered an extended residence time and degraded.  The solution? Moving the job to a machine of the appropriate size…

  • Fixed the material degradation issue
  • Corrected the breakage problem
  • Allowed production to resume
