KASO engineers were recently challenged with finding a new material solution for Werner Paddles—makers of some of the world’s finest kayak, canoe and stand-up paddles—ultimately finding their solution in a very unlikely place: carbon fiber reclaimed from manufacturing scrap from Boeing’s 787...
KASO Plastics Engineering Services
At KASO Plastics each New Product Introduction (NPI) is reviewed by a cross functional team including a member of our quality assurance team, a project manager, engineering staff, and production staff. This ensures each product that comes through KASO receives company wide visibility.
Mold Design and Construction
The type of mold construction we select is developed to meet your requirements concerning cost, part geometry, plastic material, and number of cycles. We typically follow the guidelines developed by the Society of Plastics Industry, Moldmakers Division. We have proven on-site tooling design experience and over 30 approved domestic and off-shore tooling suppliers. Ask us how we create molds for your specific requirements at the best value.
Mold Flow Analysis
Using our latest software implementation, we can simulate the molding of your component while still in the early phases of its design. This analysis offers the benefit of determining and dealing with any potential problems that may arise prior to investing valuable time and money in dedicated tooling. Obstacles such as gate locations, flow, sink cooling, gas trap, weld lines, and other factors that will adversely affect the quality and cost of your part can be virtually eliminated. Talk to our engineers about how our mold analysis can benefit your product development.
Project Management
All of us at KASO Plastics understand that distinguishing your specific project requirements is key to quickly bringing your product to market at the lowest possible cost. This means having an all-encompassing team capable of taking your idea through product completion. Let us answer all of your questions and demonstrate how KASO Plastics is your one-stop-shop for managing your entire project throughout its manufacturing lifetime.
Materials Selection
KASO Plastics has the resources and expertise to guide you through the material selection phase of product development. We work closely with many material suppliers who offer all types of thermoplastic materials. Our knowledge and experience will help ensure that the final product meets your specifications at minimal cost.
Optimization for Manufacturing
KASO Plastic's Optimization for Manufacturing involves the strategic application of our wide range of tools, experience and processes in order to maximize the efficiency, productivity and, eventually, the profitability of your project.
We consider the full life-cycle the manufacturing procedure demands, from early stages of forecasting, through planning, scheduling, dispatch, execution and post-analysis.
Rapid Prototyping
The prototyping process is key to making cost effective choices that bring product designs to life in the early phase of the design process.
KASO now offers 3D printing for rapid prototyping! We have recently expanded to include 3D printing with FDM prototyping technology to get your products ready for production faster.
