Product Development

Altera has years of experience assisting customers across multiple industries choose standard
or exceptional production methods for various 3D models. Various software suites and file
extensions are utilized. Altera will take file decimation and original file extensions are carefully
considered for part design. Altera will place files into two categories: mechanical and organic.
We have vast experience negotiating organic and complex designs into finished plastic parts.

Project Assessment

Products that endure sometimes can be re-engineered to improve their production cost and lead
times. Altera can evaluate current designs and production methods to see if an alternative
method exists.

3D Scanning and Part Evaluation

Finished products and older parts can be scanned. After scanning the .STL can be evaluated,
altered or cleaned up for use in a digital mold making process. Contact Altera for more details.

Digital Design Implementation

Altera is comfortable with tight tolerances for medical, automotive, and consumer applications.
Altera has many years of experience taking digital files and returning finished parts for
prototyping or production. Cantilever, Slide Core, Puzzle, Hand Inserted Core and A/B molds
are all possible. Using polystyrene, ABS, PEEK, Polypropylene, Nylon, Polyurethane and other
resin types are evaluated for shrinkage during the molding process and mold designs are
adjusted accordingly.

Common Tool Base Systems

Altera uses common size tool bases made of steel to house aluminum tool inserts. By using this
logical way of production companies that produce similar sized products can make mold
production costing simple and efficient. If using aluminum tool inserts tool production is almost
twice as fast and changing inserts is simple and efficient.

Injection Molding

Altera has production facilities and partners in China and the USA. Molds are produced in China
and then air shipped in components from Asia to the United for production if the customer
requires domestic production. Altera is also familiar with PIM, MIM, Nitrogen CIntering and
Photovoltaic Dispersion.

Strategic On-Shore Production

For companies that have been producing overseas and now must consider solutions for
domestic production because of tariffs, taxation, shipping costs or currency fluctuations, Altera
stands ready to assist in this process.

R&D Capabilities

Cross industry solutions to modern product design is a complex road to navigate. Altera has
experience across several industries and this knowledge can benefit your organization.
