The design process often requires Rota Design to integrate plastic components into a mechanical design. Structural integration requires great understanding of how plastics behave over time and under various loading conditions.
Recent projects include the re-engineering of mobile aerospace ground services
to include rotationally moulded enclosures requiring both excellent aesthetic and structural properties; a cost saving of 40% was achieved as well!
Other techniques include the inclusion of aluminium, steel and even bamboo elements into products to provide structural properties necessary for safe and proper function. The addition of these components often assists in reduction of long term creep characteristics associated with plastics.
