Development process
 
New product development starts with an idea, and it pays to involve Primo as early as possible. We provide expertise in finding the right plastic material, adjusting its properties to meet the specific need, and determining the most commercially viable method of production.
 
The typical development project runs through a series of well-defined stages:

• Discussing market needs & the customer's demands
• Generating possible product solutions & proposed budgets
• Computer-assisted design & engineering
• Manufacturing a product prototype
• Testing & optimising the prototype
• Developing & adapting production tools
• Testing & optimising production tools
• Serial manufacturing of production tools
• Production of the new product

The customer knows the environment the end-product will be used in, and Primo knows the types of plastic materials, their property envelopes, surfaces, tolerances, etc. We develop and test all prototypes and tools at our own facilities.
 
Primo is a valuable partner at every step. The earlier you involve Primo in the development process, the more we can optimise your design for manufacturing. This can save you additional costs at the assembly stage.
