Tool and Die Making
In today’s competitive environment it is becoming increasingly common for toolmakers to also handle the product design, sometimes in connection with industrial designers. Such well equipped toolmakers may also supervise the manufacture of rapid prototypes and even undertake the initial sampling. This relieves the end user of employing specialist staff with all the associated overhead costs.
We believe that our ‘consortium approach’ can help towards achieving this.
Contact us for a confidential discussion of your own expectations and requirements.
Within the consortium we have companies who have tool making facilities typically including:
- Computers for design, draughting and cutter path assimilation, with associated work stations for passing programme's to the machining department
- Wire and spark erosion equipment
- CNC Machinery with CAD/CAM networks including; high speed machining, milling, jig boring, turning and grinding
- Specialist machinery for deep hole drilling
- Fitting and Polishing Sections
One of our members has the capability to produce tools of up to 10 Tonne for all types of plastic processes and, in some cases, for Metal Injection Tooling.
