KOLORO small run plastic enclosures production<\/h2>\n\n

When designing any device, an engineer creates not only its “insides” (electrical and technical content), but also its outer shell. Often this shell is a plastic case, which, in an increasingly competitive market, must not only be reliable and functional, but also attractive!<\/p>\n\n

That is, at some point, the following questions confront the specialist:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

1) “How to create a device case?”; 2)“What kind of plastic is better to make a case from?<\/a>“; 3) “Whoshould<\/a> I order a device case from?”.<\/p>\n\n

The problem is that large companies that are engaged in plastic molding, if they fulfill small orders (piece or small batch production), this service is quite expensive. In addition, large enterprises rarely take a personalized approach to small orders.<\/p>\n\n

If you resort to rapid prototyping technologies, using 3d-printing capabilities, the price of manufacturing the device enclosure can become much lower. Depending on the number of copies and the requirements of the object, the KOLORO design studio will find a cost-effective way to produce the plastic enclosure for you! First of all, we are talking about molding cases into silicone molds and 3D printing of product cases.<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Evaluate the appearance and functionality of the finished product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Release a trial series of products and check the reaction of consumers (if there are errors, including in the design of the case, you can quickly and inexpensively correct them, getting a better product).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Get an important trump card – the ability to present to your customer a tangible prototype of the product, not just a drawing or a 3-dimensional graphic model!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      KOLORO specialists will help you to produce a plastic device case and, if necessary, create a unique case design<\/a> for electronics, household appliances and other types of products.<\/p>\n\n

        3D printing a plastic housing for an appliance<\/h2>\n\n

        The housing of the device can be made of plastic or metal. If your goal is to produce only one or a few prototypes of a product, 3D printing is the perfect way to realize your vision!<\/p>\n\n

        In layer-by-layer 3D printing, we use ABS or PLA plastic.<\/p>\n\n

        Depending on the size and complexity of the design, as well as the strength requirements for the plastic housing of the device, KOLORO engineers select the optimal material and method of 3d-printing.<\/p>\n\n

        In addition to layer-by-layer build-up, we use 3D printing technology by laser sintering of powders.<\/p>\n\n

        When using 3D printing technology – the production of plastic housing is divided into the following stages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

          \n
        1. Engineers create a three-dimensional model from drawings or your verbal description;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Sending to 3D printing a 3D model prepared in STL format, which has a complete surface and absolutely accurate dimensions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Post-processing of the printed product in our technology shop – after the 3D printer is finished;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. The plastic housing of the device is then completely ready for use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

          When a small series of plastic enclosures need to be produced, it is more appropriate to use prototype\/product molding in silicone molds. In this case, the plastic housing can be made from a range of polyurethanes! We have the ability to select the exact material that will best suit your product.<\/p>\n\n
