Rotomoulded polypropylene now at supermarket checkouts
Product designers can rarely recreate, in a single piece, an item that normally comprises dozens of assembled parts. Yet there is a well-established manufacturing process – rotational moulding (rotomoulding) – that can unlock the opportunity to do exactly this.
When a supermarket design team approached Tecni-Form with a new checkout concept, the result was an intriguing rotomoulded solution and a genuine advancement for the retail sector.
The design challenge centred on the hopper – the final section of a supermarket checkout counter, where scanned items are corralled ready for the shopping bag. Conventional checkout hoppers are constructed in stainless steel and supported underneath by a stand fabricated in steel, or MDF panels.
Tecni-Form moulding technique completes iPad device rollout to Clarks’ shoe stores
Innovative plastics specialist, Tecni-Form Ltd, re-imagined the scope of rotational moulding to produce a design company’s iPad-enabled measuring device, which has now rolled out to each of Clarks’ shoe stores in the UK, supplied from its Staffordshire manufacturing site.
The award-winnning Clarks’ iPad foot gauge was designed and developed for the precise measurement of children’s feet by Designworks Windsor Ltd. They initially challenged Tecni-Form to produce the device’s main body in white, medium density polyethylene (MDPE), specifying an exceptional surface finish to complement the appearance and feel of the iPad case.
