Prototypes - plastic:

Injection-moulded plastic parts, made in our prototype tools, have exactly the same characteristics, surface finish and quality as those being made in traditional steel tools.

Our prototype tools are made in aluminium, primarily by high-speed milling with 3-axis and 5-axis milling machines. Precision milling ensures that manual processing/machining is reduced to a minimum. In order to reach an attractive price and short lead-time, the tools include a certain number of standard parts.

The lead-time for prototype tools is normally 1-5 weeks, and the cost is typically up to 65 % lower than for traditional steel tools.

Injection-moulding takes place in our own injection-moulding department, presently equipped with 16 top-modern injection-moulding machines, ranging from 6 to 2,700 tonnes (0.01g to 5,800g).
