Plas-Tech’s in-house tooling expertise forms the backbone of our vacuum-forming capabilities, enabling us to deliver high-quality components that meet your exact specifications and exceed your expectations. Whether you require bespoke tooling solutions, rapid prototyping, or expert advice, our team is dedicated to providing you with the support you need to achieve your manufacturing goals.

Our dedicated on-site tool room houses all the necessary equipment and machinery to manufacture and maintain tooling efficiently. This centralised approach streamlines the process, reducing lead times and ensuring seamless integration with our vacuum-forming operations.

Reverse Engineering:

We excel at reverse engineering existing tooling or prototypes to create precise and accurate moulds that meet your design specifications. This ability allows us to adapt existing designs or incorporate new features without compromising quality.

CAD Software:

Our in-house team of skilled toolmakers employs advanced CAD software to design and develop custom tooling solutions. This software enables us to create complex geometric shapes and incorporate intricate details, ensuring your components meet exacting requirements.

Aluminium and Steel Tools:

We specialise in the production of both aluminium and steel tools, catering to a diverse range of applications. Aluminium tools offer lightweight and cost-effective solutions for low- to medium-volume production, while steel tools provide superior strength and durability for high-volume production.

Tool Repairs:

Our experienced toolmakers are skilled in repairing and refurbishing existing tooling, extending the lifespan of your moulds and reducing the need for a costly replacement. We can handle minor repairs and major overhauls, ensuring your tooling remains in top condition.

Up-to-date Technology:

We invest heavily in cutting-edge technology to enhance our tooling capabilities. Our CAD/CAM machining centres, including 2x Hurco VMX30i machines for High-Speed Steel Injection Mould Tooling and a HAAS VF9 for Machining Aluminium Vacuum Form Tools, enable us to produce precision moulds with unmatched efficiency.

Experienced Team:

Our team of time-served toolmakers possesses extensive expertise and a deep understanding of tooling requirements across various industries. Their combined experience ensures seamless communication, accurate problem-solving, and adherence to the highest quality standards.

Our Commitment to Sustainability:

Plas-Tech is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We diligently recycle all metal waste generated during the tooling process, minimising our environmental impact and reducing our carbon footprint.
