Form Mould and Tooling specialise in the rapid manufacture of high-grade aluminium injection mould tooling for prototype, pre-production, or low volume production use.

SPECIALIST PROTOTYPE AND PRE-PRODUCTION TOOLING SERVICES

Prototype and Development - Components for environmental and functionality testing in production materials and which are more representative than parts made by other prototyping processes
Low volume production parts - Where conventional tool costs cannot be justified aluminium tooling can be capable of supporting production volumes of anything up to 50,000 parts.
Fast entry to market place - We can help you reduce the highly critical lead-time between design concept and the reality of components reaching market or approval.

Lower Costs - Typically traditional steel tools are 50% more expensive than our equivalent aluminium tooling and lead times are longer.

Our Clients are companies requiring high tolerance technical mouldings on very small lead-times typically for development or pre-production purposes, and who may require from 1 to 50,000 parts from such tooling to support their project following approval stage.

As well as the supply of components for development use we find that the tool life of up to 50,000 shots can also match the life of certain Client product in many cases. As such they use our services for aluminium prototype tooling that will actually serve as production tooling but at greatly reduced cost and lead-times.

Unlike many other alternative prototype tooling techniques, the components produced from our tooling are moulded in production engineering thermoplastics, to very high tolerances, and are indistinguishable from parts produced from steel production tooling.
