Design & Development

With a wealth of knowledge gained over nearly 50 years in the manufacture of high quality technical plastic and rubber mouldings, we are in the position of being able to offer a design and development service that will meet and exceed the requirements of our most demanding customers.  If you already have drawing of an existing or proposed tool please click here to send us an email with the drawing as an attachment and we can then look to provide quotations as required.

Most well designed products start with the germ of an idea, which is where we need to be, helping in the initial concept stage. It is our belief that a partnership between customer and supplier results in a successful product. We like to become involved in the early customers’ design process, where necessary taking on the responsibility of developing prototypes to their specifications, through to producing CAD detailed drawings for final production.

CAD Design

We currently operate a production solid modelling application - Solid Works 2011, to meet our customers’ tool design requirements in-house. This allows us not only to work with our customers design or the component but also supports the export to IGES files to Sub-Contractors with CAD Systems for CNC Milling and also STL files for rapid prototyping machines. The 2D detail drawings can also be saved in AUTO CAD compatible format, a useful feature for interfacing with customers already using this application.

The complete list of file translations available to us: IGES, STL, DXF, DWG

We also have the capability to generate presentation quality representations of any part, with full surface detail suitable for early stage development prototype work.

We work closely in partnership with our clients applying our processes to their designs. In doing so, we achieve together the desired results/goals and come up with the solutions to our customers’ requirements.
