Common Questions About Mould Tool Design
What engineers and buyers usually ask before starting a new mould with our design team.
What Does Mould Tool Design Involve?
It starts with a detailed DFM process on your part, followed by mould flow analysis to predict how the material will fill, pack and cool. The mould design is then reviewed with you before any steel is cut.
Do You Design and Build Moulds In-House?
Yes. Mould design and toolmaking are both done in our Tubbercurry toolroom, alongside our moulding, metrology and validation teams.
Which MedTech Areas Do You Have Experience In?
We build tools for medical device manufacturers across vascular intervention, endovascular, structural heart, electrophysiology, drug delivery, surgical, endoscopic, and respiratory and nebuliser devices.
What Types of Mould Do You Build?
Prototype, pilot and production moulds up to SPI Class 101, including multi-cavity tools of up to 64 cavities, overmoulding and 2K tooling, as well as replacement and duplicate moulds.
Can You Make Tools for Medical Devices?
What Is an SPI Class 101 Mould?
It is the highest class of production mould, built for very high cycle counts. We build SPI Class 101 production tooling as well as prototype tools.
Do You Offer Prototype Tools?
Yes. Prototype tools and 3D printed parts let you test a design before committing to full production tooling.
Do You Build Moulds for International Customers?
Yes. Our mould design and toolmaking service is set up for international customers. Tools are designed and built in Tubbercurry, then shipped to production sites in the UK, mainland Europe, the US and further afield.
