At Freeform Technology, we have invested heavily in our production workshop in being able to offer turn-key solutions towards the delivery of fully finished components and parts. To accomplish this, we have built an extensive workshop that comprises of a wide variety of machine tools, including Computer Numerical Control, more commonly referred to as its three letter abbreviated acronym, CNC. …
Here at Freeform Technology, we can create composite patterns from the supply of your existing 2D or 3D models, both physically or in digital formats, or simply just drawings. In some cases, it may just be a concept. We offer composite pattern and mould creation using our own extensive CAD software and design programs, turning ideas into reality. Our approach …
Here at Freeform Technology, we want to ‘break the mould’ in terms of excelling in what services and products we offer to our customers through designing and manufacturing aluminium mould tools. Why Aluminium Anyway? For short to medium runs aluminium mould tools can often represent the best investment. Factors that influence why customers choose aluminium include: Fully polished higher-quality finishes …
Here at Freeform Technology, we design and manufacture composite patterns and moulds. We can work from either drawing, CAD or on occasions from various other data. We take each of our individual customer’s requirements, working closely with them to develop the necessary bespoke composite mould manufacturing solutions. Producing a design that maps entirely to the requirement. Where processes may be …
Metal 3D printing is a fusion created by taking complex design capability and converting to an output deliverable that consists of completed tools, components, or tool inserts. This unique and symbiotic fusion facilitates shortened production times, reduced component stress during manufacture, and provides tool life extension. The very latest advances in Selective Laser Manufacturing (SLM) takes metal 3D printing to …
Prototype machining is a tried and trusted early production method that facilitates manufacture of components that are often termed ‘beta’. Beta components enable testing, trialling and evaluation prior to any larger production run or finalised machining of the end-product or component. By producing an initial machined prototype, costs of early production are minimised whilst simultaneously providing increased scope to change, …
The Pareto principle is a mathematical rule of broad interpretation that states that 20% of what you do results in 80% of your outcomes. In Formula 1 it’s amazingly close to the ratio of composite component parts versus weight. Race cars are constructed using close to over 80% of hybrid composite components which adds to only 20% of the overall …
