We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Mould Tooling",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Metallised resin injection moulding is competitive from
Midas Pattern, which we summarised at the time by saying "Low cost, metallised resin injection moulding uses a composite resin mould tool directly from a CNC machined master model or pattern, to produce highly complex forms accurately and
competitively".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CNC surface grinder exceeds requirements from
Jones and Shipman Precision: "CNC surface grinding machine exceeded all requirements for grinding a diverse range of cylindrical mould tooling from 292mm) to 711mm diameter to be used in timing belt system manufacture".
In March 2007, we covered the news from DMS Diemould Service
concerning its Hot runner tools
- take a look at Hot runner tools for injection moulding
which says: "When Fern Plastic Products secured an order from the automotive industry to supply injection mould tooling, it turned to DMS-Diemould for hot runner tools".
Take a look also at the news release from Midas Pattern, Tooling and components for bus stop project,
as well as Dairygold brand relaunch from RPC Group,
and Power press builder appoints UK MD from Bruderer UK.
