Plastic Part Design And Tooling Support

Plastic Part Design And Tooling Support

Design and tooling decisions are closely linked, which is why treating them as two entirely separate stages of a project often leads to avoidable rework later on. Andel Plastics offers combined plastic part design and tooling support from our Birmingham facility, using in house mouldflow analysis and direct tool design expertise to develop a component and its tooling together rather than in isolation. We accept projects at any stage, from initial sketches through to complete CAD models, refining both the part design and the tooling approach as a single connected process. Because our engineering team also runs the toolroom that will manufacture the tool, design decisions are made with practical machining and assembly constraints already in mind, reducing the risk of a design that looks fine on screen but proves difficult to tool. This joined up support is aimed specifically at minimising revisions once tooling is underway, keeping cost and lead time under control.

For manufacturers who want part design and tooling support genuinely working together, this is exactly the service our facility provides.
