Manufacturing and Moulding
The right moulding process for the part.
We select the process from the part shape, material, finish, performance and expected volume, then add assembly or finishing where required.
Manufacturing system
Choose the process for the required shape, material, finish and performance.
Production process
From material preparation to final inspection.
- 01
Review the part
Confirm the application, shape, material, finish and critical requirements.
Review engineering - 02
Choose the process
Select the moulding and completion processes that fit the part.
Review capabilities - 03
Prepare the material
Set the handling, preparation and traceability requirements.
- 04
Mould the part
Run the approved process settings and in-process checks.
Review injection moulding - 05
Complete the part
Add joining, assembly or finishing where required.
Review completion operations - 06
Inspect and approve
Complete the agreed inspection and functional checks.
Review validation
Manufacturing processes
Four process families, with completion in-house.
Choose the process for the required shape, material, finish and performance.

Review capabilityProcess planning
What determines the manufacturing process.
| Process | Process configuration or application | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Injection moulding | Conventional, twin-shot, rotating-platen and vertical-barrel routes | Geometry, material, surface, volume and automation |
| Blow moulding | HDPE tanks and selected hollow functional components | Wall distribution, sealing, material and functional validation |
| Extrusion | PVC tubes and profiles | Profile geometry, material, tolerance and downstream completion |
| Compression moulding | Thermoset and Bakelite applications | Material behaviour, tool temperature and curing control |
| Assembly and secondary operations | Welding, pleating, printing, automation and in-line checks | Joining sequence, fixtures, mistake-proofing and inspection and approval records |
