How we work
Creation phases of a new component
Design
Due Emme guides the customer from design to production, ensuring maximum attention to aesthetics, functionality, and costs. Specialized in thermoplastic components, it uses CAD programs to develop three-dimensional designs and prototypes, enabling evaluation of the product's aesthetic and functional aspects.
It offers a personalized design service, adapting processes to customer needs to ensure high-quality, safe, and reliable components. From carabiners to buckles, from buttons to accessories for clothing or childcare, Due Emme ensures continuous communication with the customer, speeding up processes and improving the flexibility of the workflow.
Company strategies allow competitive pricing without compromising Made in Italy quality, meeting market demands and adhering to time-to-market requirements.
Prototyping
Each new project is followed by the creation of a prototype to verify its effectiveness before proceeding with the construction of the mold.
Prototypes are made in different materials depending on the type of accessory and the aspect to be evaluated, such as:
- AESTHETIC
- FUNCTIONAL
- CONCEPTUAL
Pre-series
In the event that the customer needs several pieces in order to evaluate the feasibility of a new project, it is possible to obtain small batches of prototypes in a short time using the Pre-series technology.
The needs can be innumerable: functional tests, presentation to the sales network, fairs and events, etc.
Mold Manufacturing
We offer a third-party injection molding service designed to meet the needs of companies in various industrial sectors. We guarantee custom production, suitable for both small batches and large volumes, with high-quality standards.
We collaborate with sectors such as automotive, electronics, medical, and household appliances, providing customized solutions for technical components, complex devices, and products compliant with strict standards. We adapt production processes to meet specific requests from other fields, ensuring flexibility and precision in every project.
The production process
To continue to be a pioneer in the field of thermoplastic components, the thermoplastic injection molding process is constantly updated, as Due Emme is regularly investing in new machineries and technologies, continuing to be a cutting edge firm.
Furthermore, the use of a production automated process allows to minimize the possibility of error and ensures a high and constant quality level of the finished product.
At the beginning of the production process, the raw material is aspired into a dehumidification system, which guarantees optimal drying for molding. Subsequently, through a system of pneumatic transport the thermoplastic material is brought to the correct machine, on which a group of volumetric coloring is installed, in order to color it in an homogeneous and continuous way.
One of the most complex process in the production process is the tool exchange, since the molds consist of huge and heavy steel blocks and they require plenty of time and attention to be moved. For this reason Due Emme has a bridge crane that allows to automate this procedure, making it quicker and less difficult.
The choice of the right machinery to use is, finally, to be made considering the tonnage, that refers to the molding closing force and to the size of the thermoplastic item.
Setting the correct molding parameters is also essential to obtain a high-quality finished product.
The quality
Made in Italy's high quality standards are considered of primary importance. Due Emme has always followed serious experimental procedures in the design phase and used conformity proofs to the technical specifications during production.
From the choice of raw materials, to molds manufacturing technology, till care of the production cycle, Due Emme's objective is to reach and maintain high quality levels, in order to guarantee our customers a valuable product that respects the required characteristics.
We have an advanced in-house laboratory, equipped with modern machines to test our products, including:
- Tensometer
- Spectrophotometer
- Lighting booth
- Profile projector
Due Emme's secret of success, since 1979, is the ability to give full attention to the thermoplastic components' sector, in which market scenarios are as important as details in every customer's project.
Logistics
Due Emme, thanks to a fast scheduling system and just-in-time warehouse management, is able to provide personalized assistance to every single customer, quickly implementing strategy changes.
The thermoplastic components sector requires great speed of action and the ability to adapt to meet the demands of a constantly evolving market. For this reason, Due Emme's order portfolio is managed through an advanced scheduling program, which allows monitoring of production progress as well as the ability to quickly respond to any changes in production strategy.
The warehouse is managed using the Just in Time methodology, ensuring more efficient work planning, reduced lead time, and a consequent increase in service quality for customers. This allows orders to be managed so that a high percentage of them can be shipped within 48 hours.
Another management tool is the FIFO (First In First Out) method, which helps avoid raw material obsolescence and limits cost fluctuations, thereby maintaining production and quality standards.
To ensure timely and rapid deliveries, continuous communication between the warehouse and production is essential. For this reason, Due Emme is committed daily to maintain direct relationships between various internal teams, from the design of thermoplastic components to logistics for delivery.
