WHITE PAPERS
Design Success White Paper
Investing in smart design generates substantial savings and better performance. While product design accounts for only 5% of total cost, it determines over 70% of your finished product cost. Discover the 7 essential concepts needed to create successful plastic parts in our white paper.
The Seven Secrets of Pressure Forming as a Prototyping Alternative
Pressure forming offers an excellent alternative to injection molding for prototyping. Shorter lead times, lower tooling costs, and comparable prices for small part volumes—what explains the difference? Discover the 7 secrets of pressure forming that help your product development get production ready in our white paper.
Pressure Forming with Style and Volume
Pressure forming delivers complex parts with great aesthetics, but what about volume? Many thermoformers target applications with low annual quantities, while Profile delivers up to 10,000 pieces of a part per year quickly and efficiently. See how our process cost-effectively supports your product designs in this white paper.
Hidden Cost of Design White Paper
Learn how to quickly calculate product costs for effective product design. Design dollars well-spent pay large dividends. This white paper shows how choosing a partner rather than just a parts provider helps you control cost, supporting a successful product launch. Adapted from a Ford-MIT Alliance presentation.
How custom color matching helped pressure forming deliver superior performance
Profile pioneered pressure forming with molded-in colors as a consistent and cost-effective alternative to painting parts. Along with greater precision and high-volume processes, custom colors actually lower costs. Learn how this feature developed, shaped our industry, and ultimately helps you.
