Plastic Prototyping Services | New Product Introduction Services

Product Introduction

Bringing a new moulded product to market involves many moving parts. At Rediweld Moulding, our new product introduction services integrate prototyping, tooling and low-volume production to help you move from concept to full production efficiently and with complete control.

Our team works closely with engineers and project managers to ensure your plastic components are delivered on time, to specification and ready for scaling into high-volume manufacturing.

Project Management

Upon receipt of order, a suitable project team is assembled & introduced to our customer along with a project timeline.

Sketches

Initial concepts & ideas are conceptualised with sketches & models if needed

3D Format

Early ideas are distilled into 3D CAD models using Solidworks. In house 3D printing maybe utilised to help make the project more immediately tangible.

Project Presentation

Meetings and presentations are arranged as often as needed to keep customers updated & to gain feedback.

SLA

If a fine quality model is required, an SLA model is built to give an as accurate representation as possible.

Silicone Mould Tool

The SLA model can then be used as a master to cast a Silicon Mould Tool for a quantity of moulded quality samples in PU.

PU Sample

PU samples can then be cast to give our customer high quality samples for fit function & assembly tests and photography for marketing.

Injection Mould Tool & components

Once the design is signed off & frozen we fully manage procurement of suitable mould tooling and any other equipment needed for production.

Production

Production usually commences with samples for quality checks and a FAIR being issued to sign off against prior to progressing to full scale production.

Plastic Prototyping & Rapid Tooling

We help turn your ideas into functional prototypes so you can validate fit, form and function before committing to production.

Our plastic prototyping services include:

- Rapid plastic prototyping for quick design iteration
- Plastic prototype companies support for both in-house and contract prototyping
- 3D printing and CAD-based prototyping for visualisation and testing
- Prototype component manufacturing for low-volume testing and pilot runs
- Rapid tooling solutions and prototype tooling manufacture for fast sample parts

This approach often unlocks significant manufacturing and assembly efficiencies, for example by taking small metal assemblies and redesigning it as a single moulded component.

Tooling & Production Management

Our expertise as a production tooling supplier ensures your tooling is optimised for cost, quality and schedule.

Services include:

- Tool management system and cutting tool management system for full lifecycle control
- Management of mould tooling for low-volume or pilot production moulding
- Guidance on mouldability and design for new product introduction in manufacturing
- Coordination of contract manufacturing for moulded parts for smooth transition to full production

Reverse Engineering & Metal-to-Plastic Conversion

We specialise in reverse engineering services to recreate parts where no original drawings exist, or to convert existing metal components to plastic for cost, weight, or performance improvements.

Key offerings:

- Reverse engineering of obsolete or legacy components
- Metal-to-plastic conversions to improve product performance and reduce costs
- Plastic structure design and component redesign for modern manufacturing

Quality & Compliance

Quality is at the heart of our new product introduction manufacturing process. We ensure every part meets specification before full-scale production:

- First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) to AS9102 or customer-specific standards
- Dimensional verification using CMM, 3D Optical Measurement and other advanced inspection equipment
- Validation of moulded components, prototype parts, and pilot production runs

Integrated Project Management

Managing multiple stakeholders and deadlines is critical. Our project management for moulded components simplifies the process:

- Coordinating prototyping, tooling, testing, and production
- Ensuring timely delivery of plastic prototype companies solutions and sample parts
- Supporting rapid tooling solutions, low-volume production moulding, and pilot production runs

Whether you need rapid prototyping, prototype tooling manufacture, or full new product introduction services, Rediweld Moulding provides an integrated approach that delivers reliability, efficiency, and quality from prototype to production.
