The Design Process
The diversity of products and markets we have served enables Hallam Plastics to offer you an unrivalled pool of knowledge to assist you in your design process.
By working in partnership with our client from initial concept to final production, along with sharing our knowledge, expertise and experience, together we can optimise material selection, design process, and production techniques which reduces costs.
This can be done by maximising the advantages given by Engineered Structural Foam including:
- Design freedom
- Ability to integrate functionality to simplify assembly.
- Weight reduction
- High strength to weight ratio
- Good chemical resistant
- Good heat distortion properties
- Materials rated to all levels of UL94 flame retardency
- Ability to incorporate dramatic section changes across components.
- Very thick wall sections
- With HFSF good surface finishes.
Along with our 40 years experience of various plastic processes we can offer advise and quotations on most design needs from a simple initial concept through to full production 3D CAD Models. We can also offer the ability to produce prototype models as part of this service. We can revise and modify most drawing formats although IGES, DXF, STEP and PRO-Eng can be translated relatively easily.
We offer below a comprehensive design review from one of the leading material suppliers of structural foam materials.
