ThE desigN procesS

Apollo Plastics focuses on their customers’ requirements, taking their ideas and bringing them to life. We focus on aesthetics, functionality and the ability to manufacture parts cost effectively and to specification. Whether you have a basic idea or are seeking an alternative manufacturer for an item already in production, we will work with you to ensure cost effectiveness and that it is totally fit for purpose. The design team can talk through your ideas, offer technical advice and produce a low cost prototype.

Our team will discuss a wide variety of design cues to commence the process from a discussion or a simple line drawing, a wooden pattern for prototypes through to a finished production tool.

Apollo Plastics pay close attention to detail during the design phase which promotes a reliable high quality final product and a smooth production process. We have the creativity, the knowledge, experience, and the commercial sensitivity to be a strong partner for all aspects of your new product development.

We're always happy to discuss your plastic vacuum moulding requirements. If you have a project to complete or a problem that needs solving please contact us.

TOOLING and materials

We can discuss initial tooling and create a basic prototype pattern tool. Production tooling is not produced until prototypes have been accepted. All tools are handmade to customer drawings to achieve the correct tolerance. The manufactured parts are CNC trimmed for reliability and accuracy. This gives a much greater degree of control over quality control and lead times, as well as keeping costs low.

PRODUCTION

Apollo Plastics have the capacity and experience to offer low, medium and high volume batch production, along with very large-format assemblies that meet your requirements. In addition we can further give support to your production with additional assembly opportunities. Plastic vacuum forming offers a cost-effective alternative to injection moulding, which often involves a significant investment in tooling.
