Engineering & Prototyping: Integrated Industrialisation

The gap between design and factory is the primary cause of industrial project failure. At Moulding Injection, we have integrated engineering at the core of our production through our exclusive partner LGR Design. Result: a single point of contact from concept to mould, zero information loss, and 40% shorter lead times.

Too many projects — IoT startups, medical devices, consumer products — waste months going back and forth between a design office disconnected from manufacturing reality and a manufacturer discovering the project too late. Our integrated model solves this problem structurally.

Design for Manufacturing (DfM): Designing to Inject

We don't design to look good, we design to inject. From the first sketch, our engineers integrate injection moulding constraints:

Draft angles and parting lines: ensuring perfect demoulding without tooling surcharges. Every mould face is optimised to minimise cavities and maximise tool life.

Moldflow rheological analysis: we simulate material flow in the mould before manufacturing. This step identifies weld lines, air traps, and potential warpage — and corrects them before the first machining cut.

Material and wall thickness optimisation: reducing unnecessary thickness cuts cycle time (and therefore part cost) while maintaining mechanical strength. We use Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to validate every trade-off.

Assisted material selection: with 200+ grades in permanent stock (PP, ABS, PC, PA66, POM, PEEK, LSR), we recommend the ideal material based on your thermal, chemical, mechanical, and regulatory constraints.

Functional Prototyping: Beyond 3D Printing

3D printing is a visualisation tool, not functional validation. To test a clip, hinge, or assembly, you need a part in the actual material with real mechanical properties. That's exactly what we deliver.

CNC machined prototypes: we machine your prototypes from solid stock (ABS, PC, POM, aluminium) on our 5-axis machining centre. Accuracy ±0.02mm, production-grade finish, delivered in 5 days.

Vacuum casting: for 20 to 200 parts, we create a silicone mould from a 3D-printed master and cast polyurethane resins simulating ABS, PC, PP, or rubber. Ideal for market testing, preliminary certifications, and pre-production runs.

Aluminium pilot moulds: need 500 to 5,000 parts in final material? We manufacture 7075 aluminium moulds in 2-3 weeks. They produce parts identical to future production steel moulds, enabling complete validation before committing to steel tooling investment.

Reverse Engineering & Reproduction

Your part is no longer available? The manufacturer has disappeared? We digitise your part via 3D scanning (ATOS GOM, accuracy ±0.01mm), reconstruct the parametric CAD model, and manufacture a new mould. From scan to first sample: 6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a feasibility study cost?

The initial feasibility study is free. It includes DfM analysis of your part, material recommendation, and budget estimate for mould and parts. We deliver it within 48 hours of receiving your 3D files.

Can I come with just an idea, without a CAD file?

Absolutely. Our engineering team starts from a sketch, photo, or existing part to create the complete 3D model. We manage the entire product development, from concept to mould.

What is the difference between a pilot mould and a production mould?

A pilot mould is aluminium, costs 40-60% less than a production mould, and produces 5,000-20,000 parts. A production mould is hardened steel (P20, H13), with a lifespan of 500,000 to 2 million cycles.
