Product Engineering and Reverse Engineering
Define the part before making the mould.
We scan or measure an existing part, develop designs from customer-supplied surfaces, and review how the part can be moulded.
What we can support
Review the part before tool design.
We review geometry, function and manufacturability before handing the approved design to the tool room.
Capture
Reverse engineering
Physical references are scanned, measured and translated into controlled geometry for development review.
Review validation
Definition
Product design support
We develop customer-supplied surfaces and functional requirements into a design suitable for moulding.
Review tooling
Release
Tooling handoff
Approved geometry is reviewed through mould-flow and cooling analysis, where required, then used for mould design.
Review toolingHow the work moves
From a reference part to a design for tooling.
- 01
Requirement definition
Clarify function, interfaces, material and the checks required for approval.
Discuss the programme - 02
Geometry capture
Scan or measure the part and prepare digital geometry for review.
- 03
Product definition
Develop the surfaces, interfaces and component features required for moulding.
- 04
Manufacturability review
Review mould flow, cooling, mould split and process constraints where required.
Review tooling - 05
Validation plan
Define dimensional comparisons, critical characteristics and functional checks.
Review validation - 06
Tooling handoff
Transfer the approved geometry and engineering decisions to tool development.

Checks before tooling.
| Stage | Review focus | Expected output |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Application and requirement | Agreed scope |
| Engineering | Manufacturability and process | Agreed design and manufacturing approach |
| Validation | Critical characteristics | Inspection and approval records |
| Handoff | Records and ownership | Approved design and handover records |
