Prototype Injection Molding

Xcentric is your one-stop partner for rapid prototype injection molding services

When considering your choice of supplier for your injection molded components, it is important to consider a few critical points:

• Does the supplier have extensive experience with rapid injection molding as opposed to traditional high volume injection molding?
• Does the supplier analyze, design, and manufacture molds, as well as injection mold parts in-house?
• Can I work directly with designers, project engineers, and molding experts on my project if needed?
• Does the supplier have the ability to engage with my company at each stage of the product launch cycle: from ideation all the way through to full production?
• Does the supplier have the systems, equipment, partners, and processes to consistently deliver to our agreed quality and timeline expectations?
• Does the supplier design and build every mold and run its production in the United States?

Objectively, when measured against these criteria, Xcentric is one of the leading rapid injection molders in the world.

This risks sounding boastful, but the reality, is that Xcentric as an organization has been designed from the ground up and honed over decades to be the supplier of choice for rapid injection molding services.  Our team of experts processes literally thousands of new projects per year in our Michigan-based facilities, our proprietary process engine codifies our design and manufacturing expertise to make our end to end process hyper-efficient, and our in-house equipment is tailored to allow time savings at every step.  Based on the above, we are confident that we should be your partner of choice for rapid injection molding services.

Rapid prototype injection molding tools for extremely short product introduction timelines

Xcentric has refined the process to analyze a customer’s plastic part design for manufacturability, design injection molding tooling, produce specialized injection molding tools employing our proprietary process engine and decades of hard-won tool-making experience, and ultimately produce molded parts, such that we are able to ship molded parts consistently in as little as five business days.  This is only possible because we understand and control each phase of the process and have deep in-house expertise and capabilities.  For certain applications, we work with leading experts to augment our capabilities and provide even more value to our customers.

Xcentric supports the entire injection molded product introduction cycle from concept to production.  We listen to and understand the needs of our customers for each individual project, and the particular phase of each project, to suggest the correct technical and business solution.  Our team of experts has worked with customers from nearly every industry utilizing injection molded components, allowing them to quickly align on the key project and product requirements.

For example, in the event that only a few production quality components are required in the designated material as fast as possible for certification, we will adapt our consulting and production process to achieve this outcome through various expediting techniques.  Should that customer then require 100,000+ production parts once testing is complete, we are able to seamlessly transition to production based on the learnings from the initial prototype process and dramatically shorten the time to market compared to the scenario where the customer goes out to a full production supplier.

While we are certainly not the lowest cost supplier of these services, we have proven time and time again that we create enormous value for our customers by helping them get their projects completed on time.  The positive impact of saving a few weeks or even months on a multi-million dollar product introduction far exceeds the incremental cost of working with a premium rapid injection molding service provider like Xcentric.
