Design and development of products
is a key part of PAWFORM’s activity.
We design plastic products with efficient implementation into production in mind. We combine design with preparation for tooling and process to reduce quality risks and shorten the number of iterations at the launch stage. We design plastic parts so that they are ready for mold manufacturing and stable serial production.
product development
From the initial concept, we structure functional and user requirements and then translate them into part geometry. At this stage, we already consider injection molding technology constraints so that the design works not only on screen, but also in the tool and in production.
Testing and optimization
We verify project assumptions and eliminate potential issues before they appear in the mold or on the production line. We analyze critical areas of the part, the fit of the design to requirements, and areas that may generate defects or unnecessary costs. The result is concrete recommendations for changes in geometry and process assumptions that reduce the risk of defects and tool modifications.
Implementation into serial
production
We prepare the project in a way that facilitates the transition to the mold manufacturing and launch stage. We ensure consistency of assumptions: part – mold – process, so that production is repeatable and quality is stable from the first trials.
Product
design process
of plastic parts is carried out in 6 stages
DEVELOPMENT OF VISUAL CONCEPT
Based on the brief and specifications, we define product assumptions: function, usage, key dimensions, and constraints. We structure the requirements so that they are clear at later stages of the project.
CAD DESIGN
We design the geometry to meet functional and strength requirements. We pay attention to critical areas: wall thicknesses, ribs, mounts, tolerances, and subsequent assembly.
DEFINITION OF PART FORMING METHOD
We define how the part will be formed in the cavity: parting lines, draft directions, critical surfaces, sliders, and angled ejectors. This stage reduces risks in mold manufacturing.
PART GEOMETRY OPTIMIZATION FOR MANUFACTURING
We adapt the design to injection molding technology and tooling — so that the part is manufacturable and repeatable in production. We optimize the geometry in terms of quality, dimensional stability, and cost.
Design verification – injection molding simulation (Moldex3D)
We check how the part behaves in the process: cavity filling, potential defects, deformations, and quality risks. We identify risks such as warpage, sink marks, weld lines, filling and venting issues, and propose changes in design or technology before the tool is manufactured.
Prototype manufacturing (FDM / SLS)
We prepare visual or functional prototypes to validate design assumptions, ergonomics, assembly, and key product features. This is an important stage that facilitates decision-making before mold manufacturing.
Project pricing model
It delivers the best project outcomes, as confirmed by client feedback.
Send an inquiry
Provide basic information about the product: requirements, application, and available materials (model/drawing/specification)
Online meeting
We clarify requirements and quality criteria. We define the scope of work, risks, and input data needed for a reliable quotation.
Final quotation presentation
You receive a quotation along with the scope and implementation stages — we clearly describe what the project includes and what the next steps are.
Meeting at the PAWFORM office (optional)
If the project requires it, we discuss the details and agree on an action plan — especially for complex products or implementation-focused projects.
Design at
PAWFORM
is based on close cooperation with the client — from needs analysis, through quotation and concept development, to preparation for implementation. Thanks to our experience in designing parts and injection molds, we carry out each stage with functionality, aesthetics, and manufacturing technology in mind.
What you receive as part of the project:
- design change recommendations for injection molding and mold manufacturing,
- preparation for implementation: assumptions, documentation, and a plan of next steps,
- if required: verification results (simulation / prototype) and conclusions for decision-making.
