If you send us your CAD files (preferably STEP files), we can take a look and assess your products manufacturability as is, or whether modifications need to be made.
We can quote the part for you as it is now, but this price may change with design changes. Many of the files we are sent require changes for manufacturing reasons, or there are changes that can be done to reduce the price of manufacturing.
If you have idea of how many units you want per year, and whether you expect this quantity to increase, it allows us to narrow down what method of manufacturing is right for you.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and the value we offer customers – we’d like to maintain this reputation.
Should you require it, we are more than happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Please find a downloadable NDA in our ‘Resource Center’ with our information already filled out.
Each injection mould is a custom-made piece of machinery, made just for you.
Injection moulds are very involved and precise tools. They have injection, ejection, cooling, and heating systems. Tools are designed and built to last hundreds-of-thousands to millions of cycles.
We can’t tell you exactly, but from our experience you’re likely looking at upwards of $6000 minimum. This cost will increase as your product becomes larger and more complex or depending on how cheap you want to produce the part for.
A critical piece of information is the cycle time. If you can send us that, we can give you an accurate price of how much it would cost us to mould it.
We can register your design with IP Australia, and we can create patent drawings. For further advice, you’ll need to contact a patent attorney. We can recommend one to you should you need.
We can do photo-realistic product renders that will allow you to create marketing content before your product actually exists. Have a look at our 'Digital Presentations Page' under the 'Services' tab to learn more.
Without knowing exactly what your product is and how it works, we really can’t say. Overall dimensions give us an idea of how big the tool needs to be, although it doesn’t allow us to determine the type of tool, or tool features, that are required.
We always suggest to our customers to prototype after each change. It’s easier to pick up problems when you can hold the product in your hand but it’s expensive to make changes to tooling that has already been built.
Maybe not, however that’s the idea – to find faults and test the design before going to tooling.
Prototype materials can’t always be the exact same grade as moulded materials due to the different process of manufacture. Prototyped parts generally don’t have physical/structural properties to the same standard as molded materials.
The tools we build for clients are made to last a million shots. We’ve had clients run a million shots per year for 10 years with the single tool. Your grandchildren will inherit them.
Heat treatment is a heating and cooling process done after a steel has been cut and machined to change the structure (namely the hardness) of the steel.
We mould just about any type of plastic. We tend to use common consumer and engineering grades of plastic as these are most cost effective to our clients.
An engineering grade of plastic, like 30% glass filled Nylon can be incredibly strong. There’s a plastic that can just about be as good as any other material. However, the more specialised the material, the more expensive it will be.
Never, most tools in our workshop are owned by other companies just like yours. If we ever used a client’s tool for someone else, we would stand to lose a lot more than what we can make.
To learn industrial design, you must complete formal study. The majority of Industrial Designers have a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design. In Queensland, you can study Industrial Design at Griffith University and QUT. Dienamics recommends that students complete internships with industry experts to gain real world experience.
Industrial designers bring creativity into the manufacturing of products to make them the best they can be. If you’ve got both creative and technical skills, a career in industrial design may be the way to go.
Industrial designers combine creative and technical skills to design commercial and consumer products including tools and appliances. They take products from a concept in a customers head to a fully functional product.
Industrial designers design products that we use everyday, like fridges, appliances, laptops, and cars. They take these products from a concept in the customer’s head to a fully functional product. Industrial designers also play a role in establishing the aesthetics of the product to ensure that it’s ‘on-brand’.
Good product design is all about designers aiming to improve how people feel when using the products they create. Designers assist brands to make more sustainable, long-term products.
Yes. Applying for a copyright costs about $35 per work/product and can take approximately 6 weeks or less. For an added fee, you can apply for additional rights such as the right to file for statutory damages (you pre-designate how much your work is worth) which can be used later to increase the potential damages you may receive if another is found in court to have violated your copyright.
Sustainable manufacturing is now more necessary than ever and product design plays an important role in creating the opportunity for sustainability in product manufacturing. Product designers can design products that are more abundant, easily reproduced, renewable, recycled, recyclable; and/or, Biodegradable
