Plastic Product Design

Imagine a world without Plastics! Right from your day begin with Toothbrush in your mouth to the day end with night cream packed in Plastics bottles. Look on the place you sit right now, you will find plastics everywhere.

Plastics have touched every field of life including, Home appliances, Computers & Electronics, Automotive, Constructions, mobile & telecom, Consumer Products etc.

Plastics play a vital role for Mechanical Engineers, as they are closely related to Consumer & Automotive Product Industries, where plastics have replaced many other materials due to its numerous benefits.

Learning Plastics, its Application & Design are the Key to make long term career in industries. This opens a broad number of job opportunities in industries.

Hi-Tech CAD/CAM is pioneer in Plastic Technologies and its application. With an experience of more than 12 years in Industries, we provide in depth training in Plastic Product Design to Industrial professionals and young Engineers.
