• Solid and surface modelling in 3D

The company currently uses IDEAS modelling software from SDRC. Any form of component can be modelled in 3D using this advanced system. The models can be output in a variety of different formats for use in downstream applications such as:

• Rapid prototyping
• CAM (Computer Aided Machining)
• Use in presentations and multimedia

• Design and detailing of moulding tools

The company specialises in designing moulding tools to produce plastic, aluminium and zinc alloy components. Suites of tools are regularly designed together in order to guarantee continuity of design between tools.
After design approval, all impression parts are modelled in 3D for manufacture using CAM techniques and all tool components fully detailed in 2D for conventional manufacture.

Previous examples of plastic moulding tools
• Multi-impression 3 plate tools
• Hot runner manifold tools
• Multi-action slides
• Fixed side ejection

Previous examples of aluminium high pressure diecasting tools
• Multi-impression tools
• Fixed side slides
• Squeeze castings
• Automotive engine casting – the tool weighed 27 tonnes

• 2D Drafting

The company has extensive experience of producing engineering drawings for manufacturing purposes. All drawings are fully checked before being issued and can be supplied on a variety of media from A4 to A0 and in full colour if required.
We also specialise in converting legacy paper drawings onto CAD and are currently engaged by a national company to update and convert 1500 engineering drawings onto a computer based system.
