Optimising designs before committing to tooling

By working as a technical partner from the earliest stages, we help identify potential manufacturing efficiencies before a single tool is cut. Our team evaluates radii, draft angles, undercuts, and general mould feasibility to ensure your components are perfectly optimised for vacuum forming or PU overmoulding.

Expert Tooling Engineering

Precision-engineered mould solutions

Durable tooling tailored to your production volume

With almost 60 years of manufacturing experience, we understand that the quality of the tool dictates the quality of the part. We offer a range of tooling options to suit your project's scale and budget, from cost-effective resin soft tooling for prototyping to high-durability, water-cooled aluminium tools for mid-volume production.

Technical Validation & Quality Assurance

Verified accuracy in every dimension

Utilising 3D scanning and probing for total compliance

To ensure every tool and finished component meets the rigorous standards of the automotive and medical sectors, we employ our 3D hexagon arm, with touch probe and scan options. This allows us to verify dimensional accuracy against your original CAD data with complete certainty.
