Plastic Injection Moulding
Design of components, liason with toolmaker, stylist.
Injection moulded plastic parts from gas injected 30% glass filled handles to high density polypropylene sumps. Aesthetic components to optical polycarbonate lenses
Zinc and Aluminium Pressure Diecasting
Design of components with liason with toolmaker and supplier
From Mazac to high purity aluminium, pressure die-casting is by far the most cost effective manufacturing method for medium to high volume manufacture.
Fabrication
Traditional skills such as sheet metal fabrication and welding benefit from advances in machinery, software and techniques. Design is only the start.
Other
A multitude of processes, among some of the more interesting
3D printing has been about since my early years in one form and another, technology has advanced to include direct laser sintering and additive manufacturing creating plastic parts with conductive circuitry.
Laser welding together of components.
