Polymers and Plastic

Plastics and composite Polymers producing advanced forms

Plastics and composite Polymers producing advanced forms

Polymer and Plastic Injection Moulding Engineers are in increasing demand in Irish manufacturing and greater pressures are now on  manufacturing engineers as the drive for high tech goods such as medical devices, automotive, telecommunications  and IT hardware devices continues to increase as the applications for technology move towards convergence.

For instance, not so long ago telephones and cameras would not have been identified as mutually combineable products but today few people would consider buying a mobile phone without an integral camera. Similarly we are now finding that its the little things can be the difference when selling a car. These are sometimes innocuous  items such as an Ipod Port or the external or internal dash or bodywork mouldings which have been designed  on computer to provide either the most efficient aerodynamic profile or the optimum ergonomic interior for driver and passenger.

At the heart of all these items are polymers and plastics that consider touch, colour and in some case smell, providing product designers with hitherto previously unrealisable avenues for selling the end product whether its the latest lightweight Ipod or the fastest, safest  and most fuel efficient cars on the road today.

Moulding your future

Injection Moulded Plastics-Accuracy and Affordable

Injection Moulded Plastics-Accurate and Affordable Products

Moulding your future is probably what some professions have slightly more control of than others. For instance of most science jobs, tooling and plastic injection moulding has certainly got a lot of opportunities to offer.

Within the medical devices manufacturing sector alone which has an immense product base, plastic moulded parts constitute a major proportion of the manufacturing process with everything from Contact Lenses to Kidney Dialysis Control Casings to, Catheters and complete electronic control assemblies.

Needless to say Moulding Engineers, Polymer Engineers, Process Technicians and Supervisors, Product Development Engineers, Tool Makers and Tool Designers play a vital role in bringing these products from concept and design to reality. Additionally they are fundamental in making sure a product is viable to bring to market and offers the customer or end user what they require. 

A functional, robust, safe and durable product that will be cheap enough to manufacture as a function of its simplicity of design and its material flow characteristics which ensure that maximum yield and through put is achieved meeting the needs again of the customer that seeks to sell these products into the growing global medical devices and healthcare markets.
