Step by step to long-term success.
To develop moulds suitable for your specific requirements, our MED team works closely with your internal specialist departments. We offer comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from initial design through certification to industrial series production.
Consulting
Whether it’s a new idea or an existing product, we discuss your project in detail.
Technical Support
If there’s potential for optimisation, we show you how to maximise it.
Product Drawing
We define the product down to the smallest detail.
Pilot Mould
We create a test mould and produce sample parts.
Production
If all is approved, we produce the final mould according to the defined requirements.
Mould Testing
Every mould is rigorously tested in our test centre before it's shipped to the client.
Sample Approval
Our quality department tests the parts, and you approve them.
Safeguarding your standards with advanced analysis.
Pre-studies and simulations
- Mould flow simulations with integrated cooling analysis
- Mould flow simulations for optimised product design
- Analysis of shrinkage and warpage across balanced tooling
- Core temperature analysis of moulding surfaces and plastic parts
- General mould concept analysis, identifying hotspots, air pockets, burn marks, and more
- High-accuracy simulations (up to 95%) replicating real-world conditions
Quality assurance
- CT scans with evaluation and presentation in ISIR (Initial Sample Inspection Report)
- Optical quality analysis of steel and plastic parts, up to 2000x magnification
- Comprehensive product history documentation, including quality records
- Capability analysis (CPK and CMK) available upon request
