Orion Apollo® Solar Light Pipe

From EVCO Plastics

Determine the best material, part design modifications, mold design, and plastic injection molding process to manufacture this clear acrylic part faster than the current thermoforming process, while improving accuracy and part quality, and reduced part cost.

*Covert existing thermoformed parts to those made of injection molded plastics
*Plastic material compatible with regulations for part use and environment, including hurricane requirements
*Injection molding of a clear acrylic plastic part requiring high light transmission properties
*New injection molded part needed to fit other existing components
*Reduce part cost, while improving accuracy and part quality and speeding part production
