Case history
Product and mould redesign and optimisation





CASE STUDY:
Product and mould redesign and optimisation
CLIENT:
Italian company operating in the lighting and emergency lighting sector
THE CHALLENGE:
Simplifying the initial design to reduce the number of parts while ensuring a high quality of the final product
VPLAST SOLUTION:
The initial design of this emergency luminaire presented a product consisting of six articles.
With a design study and the creation of new two-component moulds, we were able to reduce the number of parts from six to two, thereby optimising the cost of making the moulds.
In addition, a study was carried out to make the mould of the light guide part more efficient: while retaining the shape and material, the part, once made, had more lumens, guaranteeing better performance in use.
CLIENT BENEFITS:
- Mould optimisation
- Final product optimisation
- Higher-performance end product
