We pride ourselves in being objective consultants with each new project. We can help determine if molded pulp is a viable material for your needs. If we feel we cannot deliver the best final product with our molded pulp material, we will suggest another direction for your project, even if it is not with Molded Fiber.
Project specifics are reviewed (how would the part be manufactured, what are the volumes, testing criteria, etc.). Once it is determined that molded pulp is a viable option, we would move forwards with a pricing estimate. Project specifics are done by a professional team to provide you the best service.
With an idea on what the annual usage might be along with an understanding of the dimensions for the part, we can estimate pricing.
Once samples are approved, we provide a design concept and create a 3-D design in SolidWorks®. Thus the article design is finalized
Next phase is tooling design and manufacturing phase. Molded Fiber has a number of different prototyping options available from "1-up" models constructed from sheets of molded fiber material to Performance Prototypes for performance testing. Our design experts assist you with the process detail and sales team explain the details of the tooling process
Production tooling from Molded Fiber consists of molds necessary to form parts in the 100% post consumer recycled mixture contained in the forming tanks to after pressing dies that give your parts a finished, "retail" look. Our in-house design and tooling shop maintain strict control over the process, ensuring you a satisfactory outcome. Molded Fiber will maintain and guarantee your tooling for a number of years and millions of parts.
