Design & DevelopmentProtomould offer full product design and development services.
We can assist in both initial design work as well as concept refinement.
Unlike conventional design houses our service is derived from
manufacturing best practice rather than blue-sky thinking our designs
satisfy the requirements of our customers intent whilst conforming
to the practicalities of manufacturability!
Functional Prototype ServiceOne of the main drawbacks of rapid prototypes is that they rarely reflect
the actual performance of real products. Unlike SLS/SLA prototypes our
service uses machined cast plastics (offering about 80% of the properties
of a moulded component) and in the case of resin and aluminium tooling
the actual polymer intended for the final product.
We are able to offer machined prototypes in 7-10 days and injection moulded
parts from resin tooling in 14-21 days.
Tool ManufactureWhether it is low volume or pre-production tooling or even high speed, multi-cavity stack tools,
Protomould are able to source and specify the most appropriate mould tools for our customers.
We have strong links to world-class toolmakers in Europe and an extensive supply network for
toolmaking in the Far East.
