Prism Plastics offers a competitively priced custom moulding service in addition to our own product range.
Design, prototyping, tooling and full manufacturing facilities are available for long or short production runs. Quotations are prepared usually within 24 hours of receiving a sample or drawing; alternatively existing tooling can be utilised for production.
Our injection moulding machinery ranges from 25 tonne up to 100 tonne clamp, with associated ancilliary equipment. This enables Prism to mould components weighing from a few grams per thousand up to a single item of 200g.

Figure 1. Wand Insert
This wand insert is manufactured for use in bar-code reading equipment. Measuring 22m long by 10mm diameter and weighing just 2g, the component is moulded in a modified acrylic. The material was chosen for its 95% transparency to infra-red as the domed end of the wand insert acts as a lens. The moulding has a fine external thread and is moulded in two pieces, which clip together.
