From idea to production
How one planter goes from a sketch to the first approved sample.
- 01
Idea
Bring a sample piece, a hand sketch, a photo or just the idea. We look at what it must do, the size and how many you need.
- Sample piece or photo
- Hand sketch or 2D drawing
- 3D CAD (STEP / IGES)
- 02
Design
Part and mould design — wall thickness, draft angle, gate and ejection — so the part comes out clean every shot.
- Wall thickness & draft angle
- Gate, runner & ejection
- Cooling lines for a fast cycle
- 03
Mould
Core and cavity cut on CNC / VMC, fitted, polished and textured as you want the final product to look.
- Core & cavity on CNC / VMC
- Fitting & polishing
- Texture or photo etching
- 04
Production
T1 trial, your approval on the sample, then the mould is ready for production in any colour.
- T1 trial shot
- Your approval on the sample
- Ready to run in any colour
With every job
- Sample / drawing study first
- Mould design before steel is cut
- T1 trial sample for your approval
- Modification & repair support later
