Mold design
From first feasibility question to a validated tool in production.
Engineering for Plastics
Project engineering for plastic parts and injection molds
From part feasibility and design for manufacturing through to complete mold design, project management and final validation — with 20 years of experience in automotive, consumer, packaging and medical.
What we do
Three disciplines, from the first feasibility question to a calculated and validated tool.
Reverse engineering
From an existing physical part back to a full CAD model.
CALC PRO
Upload a STEP file and calculate cycle time, machine and cost per part.
Services
Feasibility & DFM
Part and process feasibility, assessed before the tool is committed.
Part development
Development support and part design geared to the tooling that has to make it.
Tool specifications
Customized specifications, written around your production requirements.
Mold design
Complete 3D CAD and 2D mold design, from concept to release.
Project management
Managing the project from design release through tool build to first production.
Cost Engineering
Independent part cost calculation through CALC PRO, our online tool.
Reverse engineering
3D scanning and reverse engineering of existing parts, plus 3D printing for fit and function checks.
Online tool
Calculate part cost from a STEP file
CALC PRO reads a STEP file and determines dimensions, volume and projected area. From that geometry it calculates cycle time, clamping force, machine selection, packaging and cost per part — with your own machine fleet and your own rates. No CAD software required.
- Cycle time with shear-rate monitoring
- Machine selection from your own machine fleet
- Packaging nesting and cost per part
- Compare up to four cavitations
- Downloadable Excel cost report
- STEP files are never stored
