Define the application and performance window
before selecting a material.
Engineering Driven
Review structure, moldability, assembly and failure risk before tooling.
Manufacturing Proven
Validate the solution through samples, process control and inspection.
ZED is more than a build-to-print supplier. We treat material, product structure, tooling and manufacturing as one development system. Our material team balances performance and cost; our engineers address structure, moldability and production risks; and our manufacturing team focuses on quality, efficiency and delivery. One engineering partner can therefore support the project from material selection and prototyping through validation and mass production.
Material Technology
Custom rubber formulation and
practical selection of TPE, TPU,
Nylon and silicone.
Engineering & Development
Product development, DFM, tooling engineering and failure analysis.
Manufacturing
Rubber molding, plastic injection
and multi-material integration.
Quality & Packaging
Inspection, assembly, labeling,
packing and export preparation.
Our rubber and plastic capabilities serve pet products, footwear, sporting goods, consumer products and industrial components. Each industry presents different performance requirements. Cross-industry experience allows ZED to transfer proven material and process knowledge from one application to another and create better solutions for new product development.
Chewing, fetching, enrichment, treat dispensing and interactive play.
Outsoles and functional components where formulation, tread geometry and molding determine performance.
Abrasion, traction, rebound, flex, weight, color and appearance.
Grips, soft-touch parts and impact products requiring tactile and durability balance.
