We welcome the opportunity to discuss complete projects from an early stage, and have the facilities to produce the type of mould tool that best suits your requirements, be it for prototypes, low or high volume production quantities. The tools are then transferred to our modern moulding facility for samples, and subsequently, production.

CAD/CAM
In addition to a conventional drawing we can accept your information as electronic data such as IGES, Parasolid, DWG, DXF, STEP, VDA-FS, CADL, NFL, STL, SAT.

Hardened Production Tools
Fully hardened tools are manufactured for high production quantities, either single or multicavity, with hot runner systems, side cores or core pull as required.

Soft Steel Tools
To avoid excessive tool costs a tool is made to suit the anticipated volume. To this end many of the tools manufactured and used here are produced using tool steel inserts, but not hardened. A number of these tools have gone on to produce substantially higher volumes in our moulding facility than was originally forecast by the customer.

One example still currently in use is a 1+1 tool with side cores for a Restraint Connector used in the telecom industry moulded in Polycarbonate, has exceeded 1.3 million shots.

A further example also still in production is a 2 impression Dust Cap moulded in Low Density Polyethylene used in the motor industry which has exceeded 2.5 million shots.

Prototype / Low volume
Where there is a need for small production batches, and where appropriate, material such as an injection tool grade of aluminium is used to keep the cost and delivery times to a minimum. A tool made recently in aluminium has exceeded 100,000 shots using Acetal.

Modern microprocessor moulding machines, ranging from 25t to 80t lock, are used offering a fast and reliable production method ensuring that consistently good quality mouldings are produced 24 hours a day.

Insert moulding using brass, steel or plastic inserts, and Cable Overmoulding is carried out on semi-automatic machines.

Engineering materials including Nylon, Polycarbonate, Acetal, ABS, PBT, PEEK, TPE and TPR are processed, as well as commodity materials such as Polypropylene, LDPE and HDPE.

A range of post moulding operations can be carried out, such as the installation of threaded inserts, printing and specific packing requirements.

Useable parts to test form, fit and function to shorten the design and development cycle are available in days, sometimes even hours, using our brand new Dimension 3D Rapid Prototype printer.

In addition there is a full range of ancillary and measuring equipment as used in the manufacture of precision injection mould tools and components.
