Rutland Plastics explains how you can validate your design and print low volume end-use parts.

When Company Director of Chainings, John Reeves, considered a metal to plastic conversion of a consumable filter part, his idea was driven by cost savings and improved performance. The process led to replacing the entire filtration unit resulting in greater savings than envisaged and a highly advantageous point of product differentiation from competing filtration systems.

Viridian Systems set Rutland Plastics a material challenge, a metal replacement project that would test the water in more ways than one.

When high-end audio equipment specialists Rega, looked to move production of its acrylic turntable dust covers back to the UK, it specifically sought out a manufacturer with joint expertise in plastic injection moulding and tool making.

Rutland Plastics understand there are many different factors to consider when designing injection moulded parts to ensure that you get the best value for money.

Although the main use of 3D printing is to manufacture prototypes in a wide variety of materials, there is another very important application – the manufacture of jigs and fixtures.

Rutland Plastics rapid prototyping service brings you plastic prototypes that are as close as you can get to the injection moulded product.
