Tooling built for the volume you actually need

An aluminium rapid tool that produces 5,000 parts costs a fraction of a hardened steel mould rated for a million — and there is no virtue in paying for the second when you need the first. We size the tool to your programme and tell you honestly where the crossover lies.

• Aluminium rapid tooling — T1 in 12–15 days, 1,000 to 10,000 shots
• Pre-hardened P20 / 1.2311 — T1 in 20–25 days, 100,000 to 300,000 shots
• Hardened H13 / S136 — T1 in 30–40 days, 500,000 shots and beyond, required for glass-filled and abrasive resins

Moulding capability

Presses from 50 to 850 tonnes run shot weights from under a gram to 2 kg. Multi-cavity, family, insert, overmould and two-shot tooling are all in scope, with hot runners where gate vestige or cycle time justify them.

Materials

ABS, PC, PC/ABS, PP, PE, POM, PA6 and PA66 (including 30 % glass-filled), PBT, PMMA, TPU, TPE, PEEK and PPS. Medical and food-contact grades are run on segregated, documented material lots.

Sampling and approval

T1 samples ship with a dimensional report against your drawing. Tool modifications identified at T1 are made before T2, and the process parameters that produced the approved sample are locked and recorded — shot size, hold pressure, melt and mould temperature, cooling time — so a rerun in two years reproduces the same part.

Quality control in production

Cavity pressure monitoring on critical tools, SPC on nominated dimensions, and automatic rejection of short shots. Parts are packed as moulded or degated, deflashed, assembled and printed according to your specification.
