Plastic part design and development
Have an idea and looking for a partner to design your plastic parts before industrialisation?
Cemiplast supports the design and development of your plastic part in Switzerland, from material selection to prototyping, before industrialisation.
Plastic part design: a holistic approach, from idea to part
Product development at Cemiplast is based on a holistic approach, from design to production. The first steps cover initial literature research, assessment of the idea’s patentability and part design. They also take into account future production volumes, economic constraints and the customer’s regulatory requirements.
Plastic part design with partner universities and mould makers
To offer innovative solutions, Cemiplast works with Swiss universities of applied sciences and preferred mould-making partners. Technical barriers are therefore removed at the design stage, rather than later during industrialisation.
Once the design is validated, Cemiplast advises on material and process selection: single-material, two-component or multi-material, with or without insert overmoulding. It then launches prototype pre-production, before industrial phasing and series production.

Frequently asked questions about plastic part design
It first covers initial literature research, assessment of the idea’s patentability and part design. This is followed by material and process selection, then prototype pre-production before industrial phasing.
Yes. Cemiplast works with Swiss universities of applied sciences and preferred mould-making partners to secure the design and development phases.
Yes. Assessing the idea’s patentability is one of the first steps, right after the initial literature research.
Cemiplast works with HE-Arc in Neuchâtel and ceff in Saint-Imier.
Yes. Cemiplast makes sure it remains attractive to start-ups with small budgets, in particular thanks to shared tooling.
