From inception to production, Southwest Plastics fully supports its
customers to ensure a successful outcome to every plastics
project.
Design
Southwest Plastics employs the latest version of Solid Works,
a computer aided design program to help our customers arrive at the
optimal part design for their part. It is much more than technology
that sets Southwest Plastics apart from the other of thermoplastic
and thermoset plastic components manufacturer. Our experience, practicality
and know-how born from over 45 years of growing with the plastics
industry that brings the greatest value to our customers projects.
Tooling
In house mold making capabilities give Southwest Plastics an
advantage when it comes to rapid production of cost efficient prototype
and short run tooling as well as repair, maintenance and modification
of molds. Southwest Plastics also has ongoing relationships with qualified
outside sources for specialized mold making services, and a working “partnership” with
an Asian tooling source for economical production of certain types
of molds. Southwest Plastics has the experience to direct the production
of tooling for our customer’s project down the right path for
the best result possible.
Secondary Operations
Having a complete production machine shop, Southwest Plastics
is able to do just about any secondary operation required to finish
a part from turning, milling, drilling, tapping and grinding. We also
do sonic welding, assembly, part identification and packaging.
Assembly
Southwest Plastics has the ability to provide not only individual
plastic components, but assembly of components as well. From
assembly of components using sonic welding or other means of bonding
to more
involved assembly of electronic or mechanical elements, Southwest
Plastics has the ability and experience to provide added
value in many ways.
Testing
Southwest Plastics has the ability to test a wide variety
of materials to ensure optimal performance. Utilizing our IZOD impact
testing
equipment for co-molded test coupons, or customer engineered
specialized fixtures for testing specific features, we can test
product for conformance
and ability to perform as designed. |
