Supporting new product introduction and speed to market, PTA Plastics is a progressive custom plastic injection molder – specializing in engineering for low/medium volume and high mix solutions. An in-house tool room with deep moldmaking competencies led by a cohesive team of Employee-Owners, PTA Plastics serves the medical, defense, and safety & security industries.
We have partnered with industry leaders on projects ranging from rugged, hi-tech weapons and soldier support systems for combat, to sophisticated, highly sensitive satellite and night vision assemblies. Rapid prototyping, innovative molding solutions, and a seamless production process are good news for today’s demanding defense industry - where budgets and schedules are under constant pressure.
The prototyping stage is a crucial step in ensuring both the viability and manufacturability of a component. At PTA, we draw on our long history of both prototype development and production tooling to ensure that our clients’ prototypes accurately represent the final product. We approach the prototype molding phase with an eye on production. This forward-looking approach alleviates the (sometimes) compromising hand-off between prototype and production.
Our focus is early collaboration with manufacturers and designers with a heavy emphasis on DFM reviews, materials support, and MoldFlow warp analysis. Optimizing part design, gate locations, knit line locations, fiber orientation, and ensuring the right material is being evaluated for each application is critical to success. Having been involved with so many products related to the safety and well-being of others, PTA Plastics understands the support our customers demand throughout the product lifecycle, including suggestions on materials to withstand stringent applications, water ingress, and ruggedness concerns.
PTA Plastics is registered with the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
For medical device manufacturers large and small, PTA Plastics specializes in Upfront Design for Manufacturability (DFM) with maximum precision, minimized cost, and streamlined results.
We began molding for the defense industry in the early 1960’s. PTA Plastics delivers on rapid prototyping, innovative molding solutions, and a seamless production process.
Safety and security equipment needs to be manufactured to withstand the most rigorous applications. PTA Plastics has the experience to meet exact needs and to support demands throughout the entire product lifecycle.
