Design/Development/Prototyping


Global engineers are available to participate in the design and development of new customer concepts and products, as well as Global continuously designs and develops proprietary dispensers for worldwide customers. Being proactive in design allows for full utilization of our Solid Works software systems, which leads to fewer design modifications, reduced design time, lower tooling costs and higher quality finished products.



Global Plastics identifies new dispenser needs in the market by consulting with paper manufacturers, converters, distributors and purchasers, as well as maintenance personnel and end-users.

We start each dispenser concept with a "clean sheet of paper" which allows our in-house product development team to develop new and innovative products. All new concepts are proved (or disproved) with our three levels of in-house prototyping:
• Handmade and CNC prototype parts
• FDM (fusion deposit modeling) rapid prototyping
• Aluminum prototyping injection mold tooling
Our intense focus on prototyping increases our speed to market and at the same time reduces potential product design or functionality flaws. We know that the aesthetics of a dispenser are as important as its functionality, which is why we ensure proper product development before designing aesthetics around key functionality.


Most of our prototyping requirements are achieved on in-house equipment:

• HAAS VF Mini-mill CNC Machining Center
• HAAS VF-2D CNC Machining Center
• Hermle UWF1000 CNC Machining Center
• 3D Systems Solid Object Printer
• Stratasys FDM 8000 Prototyping Machine
