How to learn industrial design

To learn industrial design, you must complete formal study. The majority of Industrial Designers have a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design. In Queensland, study Industrial Design at Griffith University and QUT. Dienamics recommends that students completely internships with industry experts to gain real world experience.

Why learn Industrial Design

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, then a career in industrial design may be the way to go.

What is Industrial Design

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.

How important is Industrial Design

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’.

What is product design

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.

Can a product design be copyrighted

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 might receive if another is found in court to have violated your copyright.

What is product design process

Research users and problems, Design and Prototype, Test with users, Refine the design, Launch product, Measure product success

How product design can change the world

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 or Recyclable; and/or, Biodegradable

Injection Moulding Brisbane

We’re an Injection moulding Brisbane based company. Injection moulding in Brisbane is by far the most popular method for producing mass manufactured plastic products. It is used to produce everything from vehicle parts to buttons on clothing. The impact injection moulding has is visible all around us, with the average household containing numerous items created through this indispensable manufacturing process.

Concept Stage

Thermoplastics make up the large majority of materials used in plastic injection moulding. Thermoplastics (as opposed thermoset plastics) can be remelted back into a liquid form, which means that they can be easily recycled.

The moulding process has the benefit of creating little wastage, but any wastage that is created when using thermoplastics can then be reused, either in the next run or on another part. This makes the process a much more sustainable option.

How Does a Brisbane Injection Moulding Machine Work?

All machines have a few main elements;

A material feeder, called a ‘hopper’, where plastic granules are fed in;
A heated barrel that melts the granules down;
A rotating and reciprocating screw that mixes the molten resin and creates the pressure needed for injection;
And a steel injection mould cavity (called a tool) which is made to take on the shape of your final product.

There are 5 main reasons why Brisbane injection moulding is utilised more often than other product moulding techniques; it’s cost effective, fast, reliable, sustainable, and adaptable.

These 5 benefits however, rely on an experienced and reputable injection moulding Brisbane company getting the process right. The process itself isn’t too complex, but there are a few common errors that can be made.

Manufacturing

When designing a part, there are many variables, like size, shape, and thickness. Not only will the geometry of a part dictate how it will look, but also how it will be manufactured.

A lot of cosmetic imperfections occur because of the entry and flow of the resin into the mould. If there are issues with the entry point (called the gate) or how the resin flows through the mould, it can lead to cosmetic and functional irregularities. These possible deformations in the surface finish of the product include; warping, sinking, bending, compressing, and elongation.

Dienamics’ extensive experience in injection moulding means that we have learnt to recognise when these types of deformations may occur and our design team is skilled in designing products with smooth and problem-free manufacturing in mind.

Injection Moulding Prototype

Plastic injection moulding is also used for product prototyping. The process of prototyping a design is invaluable in discovering the best iteration of your product, both for functional use and user experience.

Dienamics offers prototyping services and can assist at each step of the prototyping process, from validation, testing, high volume production, and sales prototypes.
