PRESENTATION

On a 1250 m2 site dedicated to thermoplastic production, we offer solutions adapted to the production of your prototype parts or series made in the definitive material. INITIAL-PRODWAYS has over 15 years of experience in the field of thermoplastic injection. All our molds are manufactured in the French Alps (“Made in France”). Prototype molds are differentiated from series molds (including pre or small series) by the quantity of pieces required or the design of the mold (manual vs. automatic).

 

An essential complement to our mold manufacture, we have an adaptable and modular machine park, ideal for small series production. We validate or produce your part in its definitive material. Thermoplastics are transformed in standard small series production conditions, and a quality control process suited to your request is implemented. Our structural flexibility allows short productions and reduced deadlines.

 

The materials used are technical thermoplastics, such as:

  • PA, PC, ABS
  • PEEK, PEI, PESU, PPA, PPS
  • SEBS, TPE, TPU …

 

METHODOLOGY

SURVEY: Using the 3D design of your part and via a project launch meeting, a tooling survey is carried out.

TOOLING MANUFACTURE: Our complete mechanical workshop ensures that your projects are responsive and confidential. Different stages: generation of tool and electrode paths by CAD/CAM, machining of cavities, polishing of cavities or specific graining

REVIEW:After the mold has been installed on the press, you can observe the injection tests. This is a privileged moment of exchange between you and our entire technical team.

INJECTION: The flexibility of our team and machine park contributes to our ability to meet tight deadlines.

QUALITY/CONTROL: A quality injection control technician works in collaboration with the different services to ensure that the delivered parts meet your requirements. A control report can be provided upon request.
