Project Management for Plastic Injection Moulding
Fern Plastics are specialists in highly-technical plastic injection moulding in all thermoplastics and finishes and can work on projects up to 2.5kg. Our process is simple with results that speak for themselves. Our customer relationships usually start with new product projects requiring new plastic injection mould tools and plastic injection moulding parts. However, we frequently work on plastic injection mould tool transfer projects where existing mould tools are transferred to Fern Plastics for the production of moulded parts.
Managing New Plastic Injection Moulding Tools and Part Projects
Fern Plastics’ custom plastic injection moulding process starts with understanding the exact specifications and requirements of the new plastic injection moulding parts. This includes their function, application, environment and areas critical to quality. Using our vast experience and knowledge, Fern Plastics advise on plastic injection moulding material selection and plastic injection moulding tool configuration for the most reliable results. We collaborate with our customers in developing plastic injection moulding part designs. Our specialist team help to improve quality, reduce costs and ease production using DFM and FMEA from our APQP toolbox.
The next step in our process is typically the creation of bespoke permanent injection moulding tools. Fern Plastics guarantees the durability of all new plastic injection moulding tools we produce for life so there will be no unexpected mould tool maintenance or repair costs for customers. Excellent project management with weekly updates ensures new plastic injection mould tools are completed on time with plastic injection moulding part samples, and dimensional and test reports provided for customer approval before full production commences.
Occasionally new plastic injection moulding parts need development for fit and function after the plastic injection mould tools are completed and Fern Plastics continues to collaborate with customers in partnership to revise plastic injection moulding parts designs and modify plastic injection mould tools, providing maintenance to keep them up-to-date and maximising their economic life cycle.
