Engineering at PSI Molded Plastics

Engineering

As an established custom molder, PSI Molded Plastics provides extensive and invaluable materials experience, ranging from common commodity resins to engineering blends, both foamed and un-foamed.

Our engineering staff offers a broad range of technical experience, providing a depth of knowledge critical to the success of your molding application. Early involvement ensures that all facets of the plastic mold design and build are considered up front by our engineering staff.

At PSI Molded Plastics, new programs are a collaborative effort. Clear communication and program management are a critical component, ensuring that customers are continuously involved throughout the design process. Due to our experience across multiple markets, systems have been developed to address part requirements consistent with those customer/market demands.

Autodesk® Simulation Moldflow®
Autodesk® Simulation Moldflow® software provides simulation tools for injection mold design, plastic part design, and validating and optimizing the injection molding design process. The software guides designers, mold makers, and engineers through simulation setup and results interpretation to show how changes to wall thickness, gate location, material, and geometry affect manufacturability for thermoset and thermoplastic materials.

Mold Design

Using the latest technologies, we can take your product/part design and create the mold(s) necessary to produce your part. Our Engineering staff has over 200 years of tooling experience and a complete tool shop to ensure your molds are ready to make parts.
