Introduction
A complete overview of the services available from full-service UK injection moulding companies.
Design and development support
Many UK injection moulders support customers before production begins. This can include design for manufacture, material advice, CAD review, mouldflow simulation and prototyping. Early support helps avoid tool changes and makes parts easier to mould consistently.
Tooling and mould tool support
Injection moulders may specify new mould tools, support tool transfer or help improve existing tools. The tool determines the shape, finish and repeatability of the component, so tooling decisions have a direct effect on quality and cost.
Injection moulding production
Core moulding services include machine setup, material processing, cycle optimisation, inspection and repeat production. Rutland Plastics can produce parts from 1g to 48kg and up to 1.5m, supporting a wide range of technical applications.
