Design

Whether working from a design brief, 2D data, a rough sketch or a mockup, our designers can turn your idea/requirement into reality. Working closely with the customer we can produce 3D cad data of the part,. producing quality realistic rendered images and 2D drafts for use in presentations or patent applications. This 3D data can then be used to produce a fully functioning 3D print, allowing evaluation of the part before production.

You may already have cad data; our software enables us to read most popular file formats. Our designers can evaluate your design and using our experience we can advise you or modify the design into the most cost effective mouldable part. We have a close working relationship with many customer’s design teams, meeting throughout all stages of product development advising them on plastic component design. Involving the toolmaker and moulder at product conception can save a lot of time and money.

Being moulders we have a large knowledge of plastic grades and direct access to technical information from a multitude of suppliers.

Using the latest visi cad cam software we are able to generate full 3d tool designs utilizing standard components from all the major suppliers. Giving detailed parts lists to aid ordering.

Using our visi or hypermill cam packages we can generate cnc programs of complex 3d geometry with high efficiency. We also offer a programming service for customer’s without 3d programming capability allowing them to machine 3d in house. (machine dependent)
