Work with a specialized plastic engineer
In-House Engineering & Full Program Management
At ExportPlastics, our experienced in-house engineers offer full-spectrum design and manufacturing guidance. From injection molding to insert molding, we evaluate every project to deliver cost-effective, high-performance plastic components that meet strict quality and specification standards.
Complete Program Management
We assign a dedicated program manager to take your part from concept to production. This includes:
- Prototype development and materials consulting
- Tool design coordination with trusted vendors
- Production launch and quality validation
- Managing secondary operations and scheduling
VA/VE Services (Value Analysis & Engineering)
Our VA/VE process helps reduce product cost and enhance functionality throughout the development cycle.
- Value Analysis (VA): Applied to existing designs to reduce costs and optimize part performance.
- Value Engineering (VE): Conducted during early stages to prevent unnecessary expenses before tooling begins.
Part Design Feasibility
Our team provides manufacturability reviews for your part designs. We assess drawings and CAD files to ensure they meet molding best practices — helping avoid costly tooling changes later.
Metal-to-Plastic Conversion
We guide customers through converting metal parts into thermoplastic solutions that reduce weight, lower cost, and simplify assembly — without sacrificing strength or durability.
Part Design Optimization
Already have a part but struggling with moldability or cost? We optimize geometry and recommend improvements to improve tooling life, reduce cycle time, and enhance end-use performance.
Tool Design & Mold Build Oversight
While we outsource tool fabrication, ExportPlastics directly manages the design and build process with trusted vendors to ensure tools are delivered on time, within budget, and to spec.
- Design review, vendor selection, and tracking
- DFM analysis and tool steel recommendations
- Tool trials, T0–T1 sample validation, and final approval
ExportPlastics brings together precision engineering, ISO-aligned practices, and end-to-end program control — making us a trusted partner from concept to completion.
