Design Engineering Services

For your custom designs, PolyFlex Products offers full-service 3D modeling. The 3D model of your design gives you an early preview of your product. If necessary, alterations can be made to your specifications before tooling has been produced.
Through these designs, we create custom solutions to meet your material handling needs. Our team of engineers review your requirements for a project to determine how best to proceed with prototyping and manufacturing. After establishing your individual design criteria, we provide you with a concept and proposal for your project.

Material Engineering

The PolyFlex team of materials engineers are at the forefront of designing manufacturing materials and understanding the relationships between properties, structure and performance. They apply their knowledge to engineer materials that meet and exceed product and application specifications. Specific product materials can be designed for strength, heat resistance, lightweighting, dimensional stability and other characteristics.

Rapid Prototyping

If clients desire a prototype be produced to check the fit and function of their final design prior to creating tooling, we at PolyFlex Products can develop rapid physical prototypes from a wide variety of processes and materials. Every prototype is a direct duplication of the end product, so clients have a hands-on view of what their product will look like and whether or not the original concept will work for their product.

Our processes include:

• SLA (Stereolithography)
• SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
• Cast Urethane
• Fabricated plastic or wood models

Tooling

PolyFlex Products extensive capabilities include the ability to create tooling in-house to produce the final products we design. From our recently updated Grand Blanc, Michigan facility we have the ability to produce injection molded tooling to support our molding operations.

When manufacturing products through injection molding, the result, the precision at which it was created, as well as the speed in which it was created all depends on the quality of tooling produced. At PolyFlex Products, our tools are created through a rigorous process with state-of-the-art equipment. With our experience for creating precision tooling, we will be able to repeatedly produce quality parts.

We can create tooling for:

• Cast molds
• Compression molds
• Injection molds

Manufacturing

Using different product materials and processes, PolyFlex Products can advise you on the best selection to meet all your needs. With energy-efficient technology, we manufacture your products while maintaining an eco-friendly process. If you want manufacturing done right, PolyFlex Products has the answers you need.

We utilize a variety of manufacturing processes for our returnable and expendable packaging. With a wide range of molding capabilities, we are flexible in offering our clients the most cost-effective solutions. From concept, to prototype and production, PolyFlex Products helps protect your products during handling and shipping.

Manufacturing processes:

• Cast Solid Elastomer Urethane
• Foamed Urethane
