Capabilities · Design & DFM

Engineering that makes your part better and cheaper

A CAD file, a sketch, or just an idea, our in-house designers turn it into a part that moulds cleanly, passes compliance, and hits your cost target.

In-house design

From idea to production-ready

Product design

Industrial design & 3D CAD from a sketch or a reference product.

DFM review

We engineer your part so it moulds without defects, see below.

Prototyping

3D printing and CNC in the real resin before we cut steel.

Mould engineering

Cavity layout, gates, cooling and ejection, designed for your volume.

Design for Manufacturing

The details our engineers get right

A few design decisions decide whether a part moulds cleanly or fights you for its whole life. We optimise them before any steel is cut.

Uniform wall thickness

Even 1–3 mm walls cool evenly, no sink marks or warping, and a faster cycle.

Draft angles

Enough taper so the part releases cleanly, no drag marks or stuck parts.

Ribs & bosses

Stiffness without a sink mark on the show surface, correct ratios throughout.

Radii & fillets

Rounded corners for strength and clean material flow.

Gate & parting line

Placed away from cosmetic faces, so witness marks never show.

Designing out undercuts

Where we can remove a slider from the tool, we do, saving tooling cost and lead time.

Prototype first

Validate before you tool

We never cut steel on a moving design. The smart escalation de-risks your investment at every step:

  • 3D printing, check form, fit and looks (SLA/FDM/SLS).
  • CNC in the real resin, test function and tolerance.
  • Aluminium bridge tooling, real moulded parts to seed early sales while the production tool is built.
  • Hardened production tooling, once the design and volume are locked.

The path to parts

DFM → tooling → T1 → production

1

DFM review

We evaluate your CAD, resin and volume and return a report, before any steel is cut.

2

Mould making

CNC and EDM cut the core and cavity in-house (typically a few weeks).

3

T1 samples

First shots in your production resin, we check fill, dimensions and finish, then refine to a golden sample.

4

Production

Approved parts, moulded at scale with full QC.
