Customer Led Project Management
"All we need to kick off the process is your 'idea' and we will find a solution" – Mike Knower, Technical Manager
The Insert Moulding Company offer the complete service, from concept to end component in a controlled environment.
The company often works with OEM's own staff or third party product designers who need our injection moulding expertise with emphasis on the design for manufacture (DFM) cost reduction to compliment the customer's vision of product.
Our professional project management means deadlines are met and product development is not compromised.
We agree objectives and timescales whilst aware of project detail, e.g. the conversion from metal to plastic, complex technical components that have many permutations, combinations of parts, family tools to minimise cost, Far East and UK tooling, concept to design to SLA patterns to tools to end product!
China based staff
Our staff based in China will oversee manufacture of tooling and components. In addition they will undertake the very necessary quality control. This operation is monitored from the UK to ensure that we give the customers continuous feedback on progress.
Low Cost Insert Injection Moulds Tooling Design & Development Support
At the Insert Moulding Company, we have various tooling options available to you with different levels of capability from prototype through to short pre-production runs through to full production quantities.
We can provide you with:
- Low volume : Soft tooling for a few thousand cycles
- Medium volume : P20 (pre toughened) tooling
- Higher volume : Fully hardened tooling in various guises
Where the cost of several mould tools would be prohibitive, we can offer Family tools that produce more than just one component design.
All available in Soft or P20 or Fully Hardened tooling
- Insert Moulding Company have 100+ man years experience of mould design, tool design and manufacture.
