Breaking The Mould. Additive for Injection Moulding Tools.
Unlock the potential of additive manufacturing for low-volume tooling in the UK.
The way we see it, additive manufacturing is another tool in your toolbox with a range of capabilities and the potential to improve your current way of doing things. Our mission is simply to help molders and mold makers use this technology to:
-
- Operate faster
- Cheaper
- More efficiently
Injection molding is a great application for additive manufacturing because with simple design modification, often of an existing part, conformal cooling channels can be added, therefore reducing cycle time. Considering 80% of typical cycle time consists of cooling, the impacts can be large.

CNC Tooling
Simplify part design and eliminate assembly complexity.

Injection Moulding
Add conformal cooling channels to reduce cycle times.

Production Tooling
Reduce labour hours and improve efficiency.

Prototyping
Test new ideas without disrupting daily operations.
Why Choose 3D Printed Tooling?
-
Speed: Rapidly produce prototypes, jigs, and fixtures in hours.
-
Cost Savings: Minimise machining, assembly, and labour costs.
-
Design Freedom: Complex geometries and internal channels made simple.
-
Immediate Use: High-density metal parts move straight to heat treatment.

A highly configurable combination of speed & performance at an affordable price. The XM200G printer series meets the specification demands of high-performance applications in manufacturing, research & development and other applications where print speed, part quality, and affordable price are essential. High performance lasers, galvanometers, and optics ensure high quality as-printed parts with greater than 99.5% density to meet mechanical property requirements.
XM200G Features:
- Single or dual fiber laser with 100% overlapping dual-laser work-areas*
- 100, 200 or 400W fiber laser options
- Large 150x150x150 mm build volume
- Premium F-theta lens for micron consistency across scan field
- Optional spot sizes of 50 or 100 µm
- Integrated powder-handling system, including dual glovebox option
- Small footprint
- Open material platform
- Open material print parameters
“From completed design to finished part in hand, we average a day and a half, which makes it much faster and less costly to produce. Also, since you can iterate so fast, if something isn’t quite right the first time, you can easily modify it and print another one very quickly.”
