Stage 7: Finishing & Assembly
Our professional technical staff finish the product. Based on specific post-processing instructions available on the production line in digital form, the product is finished. During the design phase, we take a critical look at this entire process. Support moulds, gauges and measuring equipment are designed in advance for critical dimensions or important shapes. We also consider what may go wrong in our production/post-processing process in advance and anticipate this by developing ‘Poka-Yoke’ solutions.
As a system supplier, we deliver more than the plastic product alone. We install assembly parts as well to deliver semi-finished products. This means your product is delivered ready-made and completely assembled. To enable all of this, we manage stock parts and supplier relationships ourselves.
The necessary documentation is delivered according to the PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) procedure. The PPAP file proves that Pentas understands and meets your client-specific requirements.
This is summarised in a Part Submission Warrant form together with a product sample.

Phase 1: Drawing up the Programme of Requirements
In order to define the development, it is important to draft a Programme of Requirements (PoR) that your product will have to meet. Read more »
-
Phase 2: Conceptualisation
The concept focuses on integrating functions and producibility as a plastic rotational moulding product. This phase results in the delivery of one or multiple concepts with a motivation and testing of the concepts against the PoR as well as a substantiation with design sketches.
-
Phase 3: Analysis
A risk analysis will be conducted in consultation with yourself. We will test whether the choice of material is suitable for your requirements.
-
Phase 4: Engineering (Detailing of the design)
Detailing of the plastic rotational moulding product is an important phase before we can proceed with mould construction and automation. Read more »
-
Phase 5: Mould and automation
Based on your final 2D and 3D CAD drawings of the plastic rotational moulding product, Pentas will start development and mould construction. Read more »
-
Phase 6: Production
Before Pentas takes your plastic rotational moulding product into mass production, the product and the process will have to be approved. Read more »
