The benefits of rotational moulding
Using rotational moulding to create plastic components has significant advantages over other processes in many cases:
- Price Tooling costs less than one-fifth of blow and injection moulding equivalents, meaning lower cost for short and medium production runs - with no compromise in quality.
- Quality The accuracy, consistency, look and feel of rotomoulded plastic components is impressive. Quality is as good as parts made by other processes.
- Low Risk Rotomoulding permits the use of prototype moulds to trial designs during the development process.
- Flexibility The process can be used to mould highly complex shapes, and even wall thickness can be changed without re-tooling, unlike processes such as injection moulding.
- Speed The lead time for creating components using rotational moulding, from conception to manufacture, is shorter than with other processes.
- Range of Finishes Rotational moulding can offer a range of smooth or textured finishes to enhance the final product at relatively low cost. tecni-form offer Finishes such as photo-etching to vastly increase the range of textures.
- Versatility A look through the product examples section should demonstrate the versatility of the rotational moulding technique; the process can be used to make a wide variety of products for a wide range of market sectors
- Environmental Impact Rotational moulding makes less environmental impact as all raw materials are fully recycled in-house.
