Plastics Simplified
Computer numerical control machining is a process by which a pre-programmed drawings is machined out of a solid piece of steel. The results are highly accurate and neat.
Designing the mould is as important as the part itself. By strictly following tried and tested design principals as well as incorporating our own relevant experience our toolmakers will make sure your mould is something that will last a lifetime.
Injection moulding is a process in which a thermoplastic polymer is heated above its melting point, resulting in the conversion of the solid polymer to a molten fluid with a reasonably low viscosity. This melt is mechanically forced, that is, injected, into a mould in the shape of the desired final object.
CAD (computer-aided design) is the use of computer-based software to aid in design processes. We make and use this software to bring your plastic component from concept to a more tangible format, often highlighting strengths and weakness that weren't obvious before.
