The Design Process

The Design Process

Stockcode:

Apollo Plastics focuses on their customers’ requirements, taking their ideas and bringing them to life. We focus on aesthetics, functionality and the ability to manufacture parts cost effectively and to specification. Whether you have a basic idea or are seeking an alternative manufacturer for an item already in production, we will work with you to ensure cost effectiveness and that it is totally fit for purpose. The design team can talk through your ideas, offer technical advice and produce a low cost prototype.

Our team will discuss a wide variety of design cues to commence the process from a discussion or a simple line drawing, a wooden pattern for prototypes through to a finished production tool.

Apollo Plastics pay close attention to detail during the design phase which promotes a reliable high quality final product and a smooth production process. We have the creativity, the knowledge, experience, and the commercial sensitivity to be a strong partner for all aspects of your new product development.

We're always happy to discuss your plastic vacuum moulding requirements. If you have a project to complete or a problem that needs solving please contact us.

About us

We have been vacuum forming quality plastic parts since 1960 at Apollo Plastics Ltd.

With vacuum forming and CNC equipment as well as six decades of experience, you can depend on quality at every stage.

Your project will start with everything you need:

  • Advice on the design of your product from a specialist
  • Production of bespoke tooling for in-house forming
  • Your final products will be manufactured and finished with quality
  • BSI EN ISO 9001-2015 compliance
The early roots of our business were established in the caravan trade, where we developed and continue to meet the delivery expectations of a wide variety of plastic formed parts.

We have been involved in multiple industries since then, including:
 
  • Caravans & Motorhomes
  • Promotional Materials & Events
  • Point of Sale
  • Construction, Building & Concrete
  • Garden
  • Medical
  • Leisure
  • Vehicles
As a manufacturing process, vacuum forming or thermoforming involves heating a plastic sheet to a defined temperature, inserting the tool into the heated sheet, and then compressing the tool and sheet together with a vacuum and compressed air to form a three-dimensional moulded shape.

The benefits of vacuum forming are numerous:
 
  • Lower tooling costs - low to medium volume vacuum forming projects are more cost effective than injection moulding
  • The choice of colour, finish, and material is wide and flexible
  • Prototyping at a low cost
  • Trim and hole details can be customised
  • Lead-times for product introductions are shorter
