Frequently Asked Questions

What volumes suit injection moulding?

Injection moulding is most economical from a few thousand parts upward; for lower volumes consider rapid tooling or vacuum casting.

What tooling lead time should I expect?

Production steel tooling typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on complexity; bridge tooling can be faster.

How long do tools last?

Hardened steel production tools can run 1,000,000+ cycles with routine maintenance.

Which materials can you mould?

The full range of commodity and engineering thermoplastics — ABS, PP, PA, PC, POM, TPU — with glass-fill, FR and other additives.

Do you support part and tool design?

Yes — we provide DfM review, tooling design, gating and flow optimisation to reduce cost and improve quality.

Is my CAD kept confidential?

Yes — all files are handled in strict confidence and NDAs are available on request.
