Selecting the Most Appropriate Tooling Solution Options

Full project management and model making solutions

Whether your project is currently just a concept, or maybe you may already hold a digital version, we are able to offer an approach that complements either. From full project management to scoping an individualised tooling solution prototype, we offer full turnkey services. We tailor our tooling solutions to our client needs, and what is the best fit for your business requirements. We see ourselves as a partner in any customer project, remaining flexible and adaptable, fully recognising there are often changes to engineering design and manufacture.  

High quality composite patterns and moulds 

For customers requiring complex tooling solutions for patterns and moulds, often composites become the choice. We work with a range of epoxies and base materials. By considering and evaluating each specific customer and project requirement, we can then determine the best fit for purpose material, with considerations in relation to the full project scope.  

Aluminium tooling 

Aluminium can be machined to very close tolerances and maintains its intrinsic integrity far longer than its alternatives, making it the material of choice for high volume production runs. We are known for our expert aluminium tooling solutions that can benefit a variety of our specialist sectors. We can rapidly produce high-quality aluminium tooling, significantly reducing lead times, and allowing manufacturers to meet tight production deadlines. Our client-centred approach is highly cost-effective, with aluminium requiring lower upfront investment costs compared to traditional steel moulds. 

Carbon insert machining 

Carbon insert machining is an innovative technique that leverages carbon composites to create lightweight and durable components. By integrating carbon inserts into moulds or tooling, manufacturers can enhance rigidity, reduce weight, and improve overall performance. This technology is particularly beneficial in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical, where lightweight and strong materials are paramount. With our solutions, we can offer manufacturers a competitive edge by streamlining the production process.
