This use case is based on Francisco Cervantes’ Tad-Pool project, which began in 2016 in the field of frog breeding. The main challenge was to create affordable, high-quality plastic injection prototypes to evaluate the market. Traditional plastic injection methods were expensive for small batches of parts. In 2021, HoliPress offered a simple and flexible solution. This allowed Francisco to produce quality prototypes with a satisfactory surface finish, facilitating successful market testing and validation of the Tad-Pool project.
Step 1
Francisco Cervantes used Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to create 3D models of the frog breeding parts to be prototyped.
Step 2
He was able to color the industrial plastic material (Natural PP) using mineral powders by mixing them before injecting the parts with HoliPress.
Step 3
Francisco Cervantes used HoliPress to inject the desired industrial material, in this case colored Natural PP, into the molds. This step allowed the production of a pre-production run of 500 pieces to test the market.
Unlike traditional plastic injection molding methods, HoliPress enabled more economical and efficient small-scale prototyping, paving the way for the project’s commercial viability.
Prototypes produced quickly, thus accelerating the development cycle.
The HoliPress allows for economical production in small series, avoiding the high costs of industrial molds.
Allows quality production with adequate surface finish and total autonomy in small series prototyping.
