From design to finished product: the Corti Srl production process
In an industrial world that increasingly demands customisation and precision, Corti Srl stands out as a leader in the moulding of plastics and natural rubber. With more than forty years of experience, the company specialises in custom components for various sectors, with a careful, tailored production process from design to finished product.
From design to prototyping
The production process for every article at Corti Srl starts with a detailed design phase, in which the specific needs of customers are turned into concrete models using advanced CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software.
The company’s designers develop precise solutions that meet market requirements exactly. This initial phase is crucial: starting from a thorough understanding of the customer’s requests, the designers create digital models that simulate the behaviour of the product in various use scenarios. These models are essential to predict the performance of the chosen materials, the ergonomics of the product and its functional efficiency.
Next comes prototyping, a key step that takes the design from digital to physical. Using techniques such as 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining, the company can quickly produce physical prototypes that faithfully reproduce the design. These prototypes are then tested to check their functionality, durability and compliance with the required standards.
Materials and moulding technologies
Corti Srl works with a wide variety of materials, including SEBS, PE, PP, PS, ABS, phthalate-free PVC, PA 6 and 6.6, POM, PC and ULTEM. Each material is selected for its specific properties and suits the different industrial applications perfectly, from marine to engineering and from pharmaceuticals to furniture. Plastic injection moulding and rubber compression moulding are at the heart of the production process, ensuring high quality and precision in the shapes produced.
Customisation and overmoulding
One of the distinctive skills of Corti Srl is its ability to offer highly customised products. Overmoulding on metal parts and the vulcanisation of products in natural rubber, EPDM, NBR and silicone are just some examples of how the company combines different materials to create innovative solutions that meet customers’ technical and aesthetic specifications.
Customisation is a fundamental pillar of the Corti Srl production philosophy. With advanced technologies and a detail-oriented approach, the company stands out for its ability to create tailor-made solutions that not only meet but exceed customers’ expectations.
One of the most refined techniques used for customisation is overmoulding on metal parts. This process applies plastic materials to metal components by injection moulding, creating a durable, high-quality composite that combines the best properties of both materials.
At the same time, Corti Srl uses vulcanisation, a process that uses heat and pressure to turn natural rubber into a stronger elastic material. This treatment is applied to different types of rubber, such as natural rubber, EPDM, NBR and silicone, to improve their performance and durability. Vulcanisation is essential for products that need particular resistance to weathering, oils and extreme temperatures, typical of heavy industrial applications.
Every project is unique and is followed carefully at every stage, from the selection of the most suitable material to the final finish, ensuring a product that not only works perfectly but also looks attractive.
Production and quality control
Once the prototype has been approved, the production phase begins. Corti Srl uses state-of-the-art production processes to ensure the efficiency and quality of the finished product. Every step of the process is subject to strict quality controls that ensure every article meets the high standards required. Customisation does not stop at the design stage, but continues throughout the production cycle, ensuring that every product is not only functional but also exclusive.
Corti Srl’s dedication to quality and innovation has strengthened its position as a leader in the plastics and rubber industry.
From the initial idea to the finished product, every step is marked by a passion for excellence and close collaboration with the customer.
