Choice in Plastics Design Now Easier With tecni-form Website
LONDON, June 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrial designers now have a resource of valuable information with the new website www.tecni-form.com from plastic rotomoulders tecni-form. There are many different techniques used in producing plastic components, and choosing between them can be complex. Recent advances in rotational moulding technology mean that finishes and applications that were once unsuitable for the process are now routinely achieved, and tecni-form is at the forefront of these new developments. Rotomoulding produces a wide choice of shapes and is traditionally suitable for hollow or partially hollow plastic components. Rotomoulded components can be a washer bottle in a helicopter, a stylish soft touch console for a truck or bus, jumping blocks at a horse show or the attractive planter on the patio, a fuel tank for an excavator, or even a water tank in a vending machine. The new tecni-form website is designed to be a comprehensive resource covering all aspects of rotational moulding, and takes you through the whole process: from CAD designs to finished product. Chris Fecher, Manager Director of tecni-form, says: "We have the most comprehensive design resource, for rotomoulding, available on the web. The tecni-form website was produced with the purpose of providing designers with information otherwise not readily available to them". The site includes an animation of the rotomoulding process constructed with the help of Professor Ian Harrison of Penn State University, as well as a well-stocked design library including examples of rotomoulded products in different industry sectors. tecni-form are innovators in the world of plastics manufacture: one example of this innovation is the ability to provide high-gloss paint to polyethylene components, which means that plastic components can be sprayed in the same way as metal. tecni-form's increasingly sophisticated assembly techniques mean that metallic parts and plastic components made through other production processes are all possible. Note to Editors: tecni-form has been manufacturing plastic products using the rotational moulding process since 1970. Originally established in Sussex, it now has manufacturing sites in Brighton & Hove and in the Midlands at Stone, near Stoke on Trent.
