Injection Molding

Small-batch injection moulding is where most projects stall, so we keep the whole chain inside: tool design, tool manufacture, T1 sampling and serial moulding across nine press tonnage steps.

Small-batch injection moulding is where most projects stall, so we keep the whole chain inside: tool design, tool manufacture, T1 sampling and serial moulding across nine press tonnage steps.

We start with soft tooling — typically aluminium or pre-hardened P20 — so a first article can be in your hands within a couple of weeks. Once the geometry is validated we either add steel inserts to the same tool or cut a hardened 1.2344 / NAK80 production mould, depending on the volume you actually need.

Process development happens with the tool, not after it. Fill, pack and cooling profiles are recorded for each part number and kept with the tool, so a run repeated eighteen months later reproduces the same part.

Frequently asked

Yes — the tool is yours and we can ship it, or hold it here for repeat production runs under a storage agreement.
Usually a single-cavity aluminium tool plus vacuum-cast duplicates for the first 50 units, then move to the mould. We will cost both.
