Kurzfassung
A large US company is looking for proposals for technologies to rapidly and efficiently mold small, detailed, hollow plastic parts. They are interested in licensing, product acquisition, contract research, proof of concept leading to scale up to manufacturing, joint development, supplier agreement.
Details
Rotational molding is useful technique for producing numerous types of hollow products. Examples of items commonly rotomolded include, toys, decorative home and garden items, and storage drums or tanks.
Rotomolding offers many advantages over other molding processes. But rotomolding of small, intricate parts also suffers from some challenges. Removal of complex shapes is frequently done by hand and unmolded parts require hand-trimming of excess material. The need for skilled labor reduces the overall efficiency of the process and adds additional costs.
The company seeks to identify and implement alternate processes to rotomolding for the fabrication of small, hollow intricate parts. These parts will then be further detailed to yield completed items that are robust to frequent handling. Compelling alternatives will cost efficiently mold pieces suitable for further detailing, in a process that uses a minimal amount of human intervention.
Possible approaches might include, but are not limited to:
- Rotomolding
- Blow-molding
- Injection molding.
The following approaches are not of interest:
- Approaches only suitable for rigid plasticss
- Approaches that produce figures unsuitable for high levels of detailing after unmolding.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
The successful technology will:
- Produce parts possessing Shore A hardness of 80-90
- Cost <$0.17 per unit (materials and labor)
- Be compatible with polyvinylchlorine or polypropylene
- Be highly automated and require little or no skilled labor
- Fabricate parts using 25-30 gms of plastic.
Conceptual approaches are not of interest. Preferred solutions will be demonstrable and accompanied by supporting data.

Kooperationstyp | - License Agreement - Joint further development - Testing of new applications - Adaptation to specific needs - Absolutely novel process Responses from companies (large or small, startups, etc.), hospital or academic researchers, contract research institutes, pharmacologists, nutritionists, medicinal chemists, drug formulators, biochemists, physiologists, alternative or traditional medicine providers, etc., from around the world are all welcome. ANTICIPATED PROJECT PHASES OR PROJECT PLAN Phase 1 – proof of concept: production of a client-specified part, initial cost analysis Phase 2 – process integration: technology refinement, integration and implementation into client’s existing process. Criteria for moving from phase 1 to phase 2 Successful short run production of a client-specified part. Note that this profile requires a convincing solution proposal.
