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.

“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.”
