design advantage
GinnDesignLLC company product development companies in the United States, said President WarrenGinn design has been from a single product modeling design, turned into a kind of important market competitive advantage.

He said: "as consumers pay more and more attention to with an injection target value of outstanding industrial design with the user experience, OEM increasingly expanding investment in design and design thinking, to promote product innovation and market differentiation. I predict the future trend is still 25 years of development, the designer will be stepped in the early stages of product development experience, and with the entire manufacturing experience."

Fremont, California, USA, thermoforming business Freetech plastic company President RichFreeman agrees said: "work closely with industrial designers and engineers to make the products more perfect, design in the future will be good products to play a more important role in engineering design."

New York MaterialConneXion (belonging to Sandow media company) database with AndrewDent research vice President, said the company is a design advocacy organization, recommend a series of fitness for the customer to use in different application materials, involved with building cars, consumer electronics, fashion, and sportswear.Design, he thought, in the "outstanding new materials used in all kinds of new application plays an important function.

Pennsylvania Bloomsburg Sekisui polymer innovations (with sheet manufacturers Kydex company with Allen extrusion) chief operating officer and President RonnCort said: "keep the merger within the supply chain need the industry go hand in hand with cooperation. Innovative design and engineering solutions need to mould and tool manufacturing enterprises to launch a new technology and process. From our point of view, design challenges the status quo, this is the beginning of change."

Philadelphia, director of the newly established consulting company ChemicalsandPlasticsAdvisory HowardBlum with JeffreyBornstein predicted that north American plastics processing industry will keep continue to benefit from productivity and energy costs down.

They said: "although with a drop in energy costs, energy costs in North America is more controllable, but still need to continue to take measures to reduce is expected to maintain experience to improve the energy consumption."

,3 d printing revolution of

The American state of Wisconsin the MGS of German village, said JeffKolbow manufacturing group company President in terms of geometric design, 3 d printing for limitless possibilities.

He said: "when adding processing and 3 d printing faster than exponential growth, we will see a new shift in manufacturing."At present, the MGS, mostly to 3 d printing as one of the research, development and marketing tools.

Ginn said: "is the same as with other each manufacturing process, this kind of technology has its unique advantages with insufficient. Though I would expect the novelty for 3 d printing to hype will slowly become less, but the emergence of this kind of technology for manufacturing enterprises are more aware of the many possibilities. I don't think it will replace all of the traditional plastic molding process, but the 3 d printing should be designers with plastic manufacturing industry enterprises as a new choice."

Blum with Bornstein believes that in the future five years, 3 d printing is most likely in prototype development with high added value plays, director of the short version printing application.The limiting factors associated with thermoplastics melt processing properties, its viscosity is too strong, usually can't rapid outflow from the microporous feeder to complete large parts forming scale economy.

The challenge for the 3 d printing; Cort said, is that how to manufacture large parts."But I never underestimate the speed of change. A new type of polymer used in 3 d printing will come to the fore. Sooner or later they will arises at the historic moment."

The global standards will establish

; Cort think in the future there will be a global standard will further strengthen the attention to the performance specifications, rather than according to the product specification to guild regulations.

He said: "with unified specification of globalization will move slowly from Europe to North America and Asia. As such, we attach importance to the European market, this is the place where a lot of industry regulation began to spread."

Blum told Bornstein, the federal drug administration (fda) regulation, the eu's chemical registration, evaluation, authorization and restrictions, and other global regulatory entity, "in the future may further regulation about recycled plastic food contact applications used in packaging, special is the release of any infection additives or material."

Blum told Bornstein, provisions on biodegradable property declaration "will make more strictly, in order to let the public know more and more information."Detailed definition of biodegradability will involve how plastic degradation, no matter in the ocean or in the atmosphere, and the degradation rate.

Kolbow said: "the influential power of the government's action is very difficult to plan.""Developed countries to develop my country's government has shown with the intention of, make increasing manufacturing regulations."

More and more growth in
,
Blum told Bornstein, plastic will continue to replace metal, paper, glass, and polymer industry growth is expected to more than 1-2% growth in gross domestic product, but more in the past few decades speed will slow down.

Dent said, plastic in the economy will increase the percentage."Plastic is everywhere, solved our existing many problems."With the same time, "we must be for the use of plastic for cautious and sensitive. There are many places we can't use plastic."

Dent said, worry is indeed exist, because there are many "precious resource" was sent to the landfill."We need to sorting according to atomic structure or quality. Landfill is the material of gold."

Ginn said, can't imagine plastic disappear from the market situation, and young generation stylist, greatly increasing the awareness of the impact of using oil based polymers, they realized significantly after scrapped products resulted from its disposal or reuse.With the development of plant based polymers such as poly (lactic acid) (PLA), can foresee people will need to find more suitable application fields, these materials as to replace the traditional polymer materials.

; Cort said: "our industry faces a big challenge is about plastic education. Shared polymer used as our increasing with employment environment can keep the development opportunity brought by the opportunity, I would expect plastic will continue to help promote the development of the economy. It is necessary to formulate a logical energy policy to promote energy independence. The influence of low natural gas costs shall be considered to help America's good opportunity to increase the state's overall exports."

Kolbow said: "with the design of plastic parts manufacturing enterprise, used to replace metal and glass parts, industry should develop continuous synchronization. More importantly, given the plastic big trade surplus with the vertical injection molding machine industry, service industry with materials should give business development, become a driving force in the economy."


manufacturing back to the shore
Just looking for rich cost effective and efficient in terms of production resources, Ginn say the United States even things up.

He said: "as the Asian middle class is growing, overseas production is no longer as in the past is a low cost option. Must consider offer incentives for young people, let them take manufacturing as one of choosing a career direction. I understand that clients often mentioned how difficult it is to find qualified local suppliers. Especially looking for suppliers of medical equipment manufacturing enterprises in the United States."

; Cort said: "we love those with contracting construction of molding business outsourcing partnership with multinational manufacturers. I think companies should focus on developing their own key competitiveness, as a supplier, our obligation is to put the matching of industry suppliers associated with the customer, eliminating non-value added behavior with link. Construction, open, and has set up sex as early as possible that we should vigorously develop the opportunity of cooperation."

Blum told Bornstein, north American producers of outsourcing will adjust, slowly will once again return to North America.As the rise in the cost of production in our country, the OEM outsourcing is expected to be moved to other developing countries, I listed such as Vietnam.

OEM Kolbow discussed about controlled or custom.

Kolbow said: "sometimes the cause of the outsourcing business logic is very simple. Set production molding is generally not considered OEM\/key competitive brands."

Freeman said: "the OEM every few years would be to make changes to the product. If they are in a proper time in the product cycle, and search for a high cosmetic requirements of shell, then we will have the opportunity. But when the enterprise only need extremely low-cost housing, it isn't what we're service niche."

Consolidation is

; Cort thinks, will continuously by merging for high yield of multinational companies provide effective support."From this, in turn, to occupy a niche and taking fine line smaller producers opportunity, they will be able to promote small, high-profit industry innovation."

Kolbow said: "with OEM require their suppliers to give more and more services, molding business will need to give product design services, after molding assembly and packaging, and distribution services. These requirements will continue to promote further contact vertical merger."

Kolbow pointed out that the vertical integration of the single procurement gives business constitute and increased the traditional definition of contract manufacturers.

Blum with Bornstein consolidation in the developed countries is expected to continuously, but the speed will slow down.

They said: "big companies less and less available for purchase."Sales of $500 million of the companies will continue to be acquired, and promote the vertical integration of the move is likely to be reduced.

Blum with Bornstein mentioned another emerging trends, "the big companies lower profits would spin off the plastic processing business, once again become a independent company, although shareholders, vc group or a single large constant."

In the field of thermoforming, Freeman says, regional integration mainly happens on the thin specifications between manufacturers, so, he thinks this trend "probably began in have competitive relationship with Freetech specifications enterprises."But this kind of company will be less and less, because "at the bottom of a provider has disappeared in the last time integration."

Time to market of

The current culture cannot leave based on the Internet and electronic commerce & other;Business-to-consumer & throughout;Business model.

; Cort said, as the millennial generation and the younger generation to enter the society to participate in the work, can fully assume they want with their personal life the same rapid turnover with & other;Immediate delivery & throughout;.The industry should grasp well & other;A short time delivery & throughout;Advantage of opportunities.& other;Our short for custom color printing custom production the delivery time of less than 12 days.I wish I could be reduced to 5 days.Our customers eventually hopes to shorten to 2 days.Throughout the &;

Kolbow said: "the customer will continue to supplier on the value of more and more high expectations, and to shorten design cycle of production, and prototyping, mold production, sampling and process development and qualification authentication service. Due to decisions through extension project delay things are common. OEM\/brand merchants will begin by early project process, and make the relevant internal departments (including engineering with Marketing Department) with suppliers become true is development partners, the best to shorten the cycle of the goal."

Blum told Bornstein, changing the computer, IT with software listed will be able to shorten the cycle, and increase of & other;Customers - molding - resin supplier & throughout;The use of telemetry and trace with sorting system.In addition, "rapid prototyping based on 3 d printing will speed up product development process."

Ginn concluded: "to reduce the cycle of the public, one of the methods is to let designers and engineers with suppliers in advance into the product development experience. Designer into the sooner, the greater the impact on the efficiency of.


plastic coffin
As an alternative to keep development vision, scientists from the United States California DelMar and demographers RobertT. Lundy fully adopted after the proposal recycled plastic to produce the coffin.Material change is expected to be rescued from the rapid growth of refuse landfill site useful polymer, and don't have to use burial vault lining or to protect the coffin.This vision comes from with his brother EricW. Lundy's for words, his brother in the United States, Maryland Waldorf business Heritage Memorial Cemetery Cemetery.
