Product concept & design

Product concept & design is a critical step in the engineering product design process. This step identifies critiques and prioritizes design concepts that meet customer needs and specifications to derive the optimal design. Decisions made during early design stages can tightly constrain future options. Developing attractive product concepts requires fluid abstract thinking, creative imagination and innovation.

We innovate new product concepts using a creative team with diverse backgrounds, expertise and perspectives.

Modelling and Prototyping

When it comes to high-quality prototypes, there’s no one better for the job than the product development team at Mutual Industries, We are unmatched in our ability to rapidly create functional, highly-aesthetic and refined product modelling and prototyping using our in-house team and equipment, regardless of the stage of your idea.

Injection Moulding

Mutual processes plastics across a wide range of polymer families right from polyolefins to Engineering polyamides, styrenes and various special compounds to meet the precise needs of the parts using injection moulding technology.

We mould parts from sizes as small as a button to as large as the front hood of a heavy commercial vehicle addressing both the technical and aesthetic requirements of the products.

We pride ourselves in employing the most contemporary technology in our machines ranging up to 3200 tons across reputed brands in the industry.

We also have the expertise of manufacturing with long fibre injection molding, gas assisted injection molding, hybrid thermoplastic composite molding, injection compression molding.

Single & Twin Sheet Thermoforming - Vaccum and Pressure

Mutual brings in the advantage of heavy gauge thermoforming using single & twin sheet technology to open up whole new possibilities of products and applications across the industry segments.

The experience of over 5 decades of Styl’monde (France) in European Industry synergizes with the indigenous engineering and manufacturing capabilities of Mutual to form Mutual Stylmonde Pvt Ltd.

It is capable to produce components up to 3mts x 2mts with most contemporary technology installments.

The applications include

  • Automotive
  • Mass Transit (Buses & Railways)
  • Tractor & Farm Equipment
  • Earth Moving Equipment and Machinery
  • Medical Equipment & Machinery Covers
  • Ambulances
  • Material Handling (Customized Trays and Pallet solutions)
  • Signage (Advertising and Display)

Here are some potential advantages of single & twin sheet engineering thermoforming

  • Rapid Prototype Development
  • Fast Mould Development Cycles
  • Lower Tooling Costs compared to Injection Moulding and Blow Moulding
  • High inherent strength owing to twin wall structure
  • In Process Re-Inforcement possibilities like metal, honey comb structure, PU foam etc.

Typical materials which can be used in single & twin sheet engineering thermoforming include: HDPE, PMMA-ABS, ABS, TPO, PC, PC-ABS, ASA, ASA-ABS, TPU–ABS, PS, PSPE, HIPS.

Aqua Graphics

Mutual Industries brings Japanese technology from Taica Corporation ( Cubic) that enables transformation of your products through surface enhancement to augment its beauty. The process called Aqua graphics entails a water-soluble film, covered in natural and abstract prints that is printed onto substrates which could be made out of plastic, glass, wood, metal etc.

It is possible to create more than 2000 different patterns across various colour shades on the products.

Aqua graphics finds excellent applications in automotive interiors, personal care packaging, architectural products, home appliances etc

Besides the above, the decoration also adds great aesthetic value to products in the switch and lighting industry.

Surface Coating

keeping with our commitment of state-of-the-art infrastructure and to provide our customers nothing but the best, Mutual Industries has invested heavily in the latest finishing technologies and are a house of excellence for plastic parts surface finish.

In India we were the first to foresee the need within the automotive hangout parts for fully automated surface finishing processes equipped with robotic paint application systems and the first five stage power wash.

Our facilities have the ability to process all solvent borne and water-borne paint technologies with the expertise to produce primer less products that surpass customer expectations. Mutual Industries has full control of the paint-able surface as we have the in-house capability to begin with mould design and manufacturing to mass production.

Three-dimension Overlay Method

“feel what you see” Three-dimension Overlay Method "TOM" issued for many kinds of industrial product as the entirely new decoration method in which high design film can be decorated on the surface of your product. Tom makes it possible to express rich texture on your product. “Tom film” can design a real wooden texture, leather texture , carbon texture and many more that we can think of.
