Part development: plastic parts designed for molding from the start
From the first idea to the finished part design. Your requirements, implemented ready for molding and production.
Creating the design
We design your plastic part to your specifications, using the CIMATRON CAD/CAM system.
- Design of the plastic part, you tell us what matters
- Mold-friendly design from the start
- Demolding and uniform wall thicknesses taken into account
The mold considered from the start
Part developers think in function and form, mold makers in steel and manufacturing. We speak both languages and bring them together early on.
Housing of the LeakCam 600 acoustic camera
A real-world example: the housing of the LeakCam 600 acoustic camera by CS Instruments. We took over the project from the designer, reworked it into parts ready for molding and production, and optimized it with our simulation, wall thickness and demolding analysis. We discussed the mold concepts with the mold maker and supervised the mold build on site through to the tryout.

Frequently asked questions
Why should mold making have a say as early as part development?
Because the key decisions are made at the very beginning of a project. Whatever is solved in a mold-friendly way in the part design does not have to be corrected expensively in steel later.
Do you develop the entire part or just individual details?
Both. We create the complete part design or rework an existing design so that it works well in the mold and can be produced reliably.
