For Designers

Whether you are a designer of the plastic part itself or the mould in which it will be produced DME can help you maximize your profit by minimizing cost and satisfying all of your customers key requirements. Our highly skilled engineers and designers are at your disposal to refine and perfect a part design, a mould’s functionality and ensure optimum processing performance over the lifecycle of production.

Using analysis and design services combined with our leading products we can help you achieve the maximum value of your mould and final part.

Moulded plastic parts remain one of the key enablers to innovation of both consumer and industrial products. Lighter, stronger, smaller and more appealing products are possible by leveraging the versatility and performance of plastics. DESIGN is critical to every aspect of the plastic part. Through DESIGN products can be differentiated in terms of their form, fit and function to deliver improved performance through the entire application life-cycle. Efficient design lowers total costs allowing for high-speed, high-volume moulding operations due to higher material prices, reduce cycle time, reduced scrap rates, and increase overall productivity and costs to manufacture further improving the total value to the customer.***

We work alongside you taking a holistic approach that helps ensure all of the project requirements are met wherever in the world they are required. We start by building a detailed understanding of your plastic part design,its intended application in use and the resulting requirements for the tool. Drawing on unrivaled breadth of capabilities we take an integrated approach to meet your needs combining our precise melt delivery systems, engineered and designed components, and mould cooling technologies that ensure part quality and appearance are achieved at the lowest cost possible. Our goal is to deliver the best possible plastic part at the lowest possible cost. This is the advantage of the DME Integrated Tool Technology Solution.

DME has worked hand-in-hand with Mould/Tool Designers for the past seven decades.

DME’s ever expanding library of innovative new products and systems are integrated within today’s leading CAD design software. This offers you ease of use and the peace of mind of knowing that you will be using products backed by DME’s quality and service.

On your next project take advantage of DME’s online configurator and latest technologies in designing your optimal mould.
