Our case studies show how a Prime Tools compression mould is made in practice: what the buyer needed, what the DFM review found, how the mould was designed and built, and how the part came out at the first trial.
Latest case studies
What each case study covers
- The brief. What the buyer needed and what made the part difficult.
- DFM review. Draft, wall section, undercuts, inserts, press force and charge, checked in 3D before steel is cut.
- The mould. How the mould was designed, machined, fitted and assembled in our tool room.
- First trial. Photos and video of the first parts off the press.
- The result. What was approved, and what the buyer got.
More case studies are on the way, covering SMC enclosure lids, meter boxes and die casting die repairs. Meanwhile, see photos from recent projects, or read how we approach DFM and mould design.
