Product Development.

HTI design engineers are experts at engineering for plastic products including prototyping new concepts, improving manufacturability of existing designs, and designing for improved manufacturability and down-line savings.

We have the capability to take anything from a napkin sketch to solid models and detailed drawings, and turn around high quality plastic injection molded parts that are designed to optimize cost, weight, manufacturability, ergonomics, and performance.

At HTI, our goal is to create a design that is manufactureable and meets your expectations. Getting us involved in the early stages of the product design ensures you the success you should expect from your manufacturing partner.

Project Management.

At HTI, we realize the success of any project is determined by the strength of the project management team. Together, our staff combines their expertise and experience in tooling, automation, prototyping and design to provide our customers with optimized manufacturing solutions. HTI Plastics project management teams include imput from:

Project Manager
Quality Engineers
Manufacturing Engineers
Design Engineers
Tooling Engineers
In-House Tool Room Staff

Scientific Molding.

Maintaining exacting tolerances is a critical component of quality control—from cavity to cavity, first shot to final run. Scientific molding, a state-of-the-art in-mold monitoring process mastered by HTI, determines optimal fill speed, pack time, and pressure—eliminating guesswork and dramatically improving precision repeatability and efficient runtime. At HTI Plastics, you can be assured that we take every step carefully, precisely and with the end result in mind. Let us show you how we can do it for you.

Conversion.

Our Engineers are well versed in converting parts made in other materials. For example, converting wood or metal into plastic provides a number of benefits including:

Lower total cost
Light weight
Weather resistant
No rusting or denting
Ability to mold in inserts

Process Development.

Our Manufacturing Engineers have knowledge and expertise in numerous product industries. Their capabilities cover all aspects of injection molding from material selection to process optimization techniques. You can expect the highest level of skill, developing the most cost efficient process available.
