It is essential to have a suitable mold. Vplast provides all the necessary support for mold creation if you do not have one, thanks to our collaboration with trusted designers and mold makers.
Our lean and flexible organizational structure ensures maximum agility in project initiation and fast production startup. Our team is dynamic, responsive, and able to provide quick feedback and answers, thanks to the know-how gained through experience and continuous training—essential elements for offering professional consulting.
Injection molding allows for the continuous and rapid production of parts in various shapes, including complex ones, made from thermoplastic polymers that can vary depending on the technical performance required. With injection molding, finished components are produced that do not require further rework. This is why injection molding is used to manufacture basic products for numerous types of industries across various sectors.
- A wide variety of polymers and engineering plastics to ensure the necessary technical performance
- Continuous and rapid production of parts in different shapes, including complex ones
- Production of very small parts
- High productivity and process automation
- Through technology and constant research of new raw materials, more and more injection-molded components are replacing metal components as the products offer lightweight and superior performance.
- Through constantly monitored molding processes
- Using state-of-the-art measuring instruments
- Thanks to traceability of the entire production cycle
The Vplast quality management system is certified UNI EN ISO 9001.
We produce pre-series starting from a few dozen pieces up to small productions of 500 to 1,000 pieces.
Our team can provide all the necessary support to turn your idea into a finished product, ready for sale. We are able to assist you in all stages of the process: from feasibility analysis to material selection, from product design development to engineering, from selecting the right mold makers to meet the product's technical and dimensional specifications, to the creation of the finished, assembled, and packaged product.
No problem! The support of state-of-the-art 3D printers, we can let you experience the products firsthand, even creating small functional and mechanically resistant pre-series.
Thanks to ongoing research and continuous training in the field of engineering plastics and bio materials, we are able to recommend the most suitable material for each individual project.
- A 2D or 3D drawing of the component
- Information about the product's application, to provide support in material selection if needed
- An approximate indication of quantities to determine the most suitable number of cavities
Our goal is to provide the customer with a complete service. For this reason, we also offer the following post-molding services: assembly, packaging, ultrasonic welding, and painting.
The time required to create a new mold typically ranges from 3 to 16 weeks, depending on the complexity and size of the part.
The cost of creating a mold is typically in the range of several thousand euros.
We are already developing several products using biopolymers, as we are aware that this will be the material of the future for certain types of applications.
