Custom Rotational Molding
Custom Rotational Molding is a specialized process performed by rotational molding companies that are performing specialized contract work or production for other OEMs and manufacturers who have outsourced their rotomolding project to someone who specializes in quality rotational molding production, based on the customers supplied quality standards, manufacturing specifications and even packaging or shipping instructions if the rotomolding company is operating as a turn key operation and drop shipping product to customers for the client.
Custom Rotomolding Projects
Custom Rotational Molding projects have an integral multi-step process. These steps are integral to a well executed rotational molding project. This will help streamline production and attempt to alleviate any additional tooling expense or modification costs as an initial product consultation and design meetings take place to discuss the fit, form and function of each desired custom manufactured item. Learn more about each step of the custom rotomolding process below.
Product Consultation– Most quality focused rotational molding companies will begin with a meeting to discuss the expectations and needs of the part or project. Typical discussions will include how the part is expected to function, the environment which the product will be used, limitations of exposure and if the rotational molding process is the optimum manufacturing process for the project. Drawings and 3D Models can be reviewed during this process in effort to discuss design and the manufacturing process considerations.
Rotational Molding Design– The rotational molding design process is integral to the rotational molding process. Over the years, some customers have found that design engineers that are highly versed in rotational molding design are extremely limited. True leading custom rotational molding companies will have design engineer staff on hand to analyze the part concept, drawings or solid model files to make sure that the design can be achieved as a product of rotational molding and can meet or exceed the expectations of the customer. A quality focused engineer with good, rotational molding experience will be able to recognize things such as load bearing needs, environmental stresses or other specifications that could make or break the rotomolding project. A final product design will be drafted from these details and specifications, which a mold will be made from these final designs.
Developing a custom rotomolded part requires experience and attention at each step and finding a rotational molding company capable to complete the process from beginning to end can save time and money.
