We provide plastic injection moulding services within our 52,000 square feet production and warehousing facilities. Through working closely with our customers, we provide high-quality, competitively priced products. Rapid prototyping is the fast manufacture of a physical part using CAD data. We are committed to helping you get your products from the design stage to market as efficiently as possible. We offer a complete CAD designing and development solution to our customers to enable them to move their projects from concept to a finished product ready for sale. We can advise on tool material, cavities and design considering production for the lifetime of your project, whilst taking into account the effects on the cost of the completed moulded components. We aim to provide our customers with a complete high-quality product solution that minimises secondary handling or additional transport costs during the production process. Our sales engineers will discuss your project with you and can offer you a range of additional services. These can include printing, welding, gluing, plating, assembly, and packaging to form complete units ready to dispatch.
