When you require a 3 dimensional component there are very few options available. The most common and probably best known is moulding which has 2 main areas.
The first area is compression moulding, which is most frequently used on lower volume or larger sized components and utilises cheaper tooling than the second main area which is injection moulding which is more suited to high volume smaller components that tend to have a cheaper component cost but has higher initial tooling charges.
For customers who require moulded items we can offer a comprehensive range of facilities and services, from design advice and prototyping to final full production runs. Using our expertise and knowledge we can offer our customers advice on all aspects of creating a new and successful product. With Injection, Compression and Transfer methods available and a rapid prototyping system we can help you perfect a cost-effective quality moulding. We offer Low cost entry level tooling to full hardened production tooling.
