Patterns, moulds and tools for industry, engineering and design

We cover every discipline of pattern, mould and tool making. Most of our work is for the automotive industry and its suppliers, but many smaller companies are among our customers too.

Production

Production patterns

For foundries we make patterns and core boxes in wood, plastic and metal, for engine parts, housings and components of all kinds. We also cover every kind of plastics processing.

  • Foundry patterns and core boxes with gating and feeder systems
  • GRP and CFRP laminates
  • Tooling for small series and sample parts
  • Punches, foaming tools and steel tools
  • Prototyping

  • Machinery and plant layouts
  • Vehicles of all kinds
  • Prototypes and design studies
  • Wind tunnel models at any scale
  • Presentation pieces and acrylic trophies

Quality assurance

Gauges and fixtures

Checking fixtures and gauges keep your parts within tolerance in one-off and series production, especially in aerospace and automotive.

  • Checking fixtures and gauges
  • Welding fixtures
  • Assembly fixtures
  • Turned and milled fixture components made in-house
  • Final inspection on our own CMM

3D printing and rapid prototyping

When time is short or a geometry is too nested to mill, we print. Two multi-material printers produce prototypes, fit samples and fixture parts, often overnight. Where it makes sense we combine printed and milled parts.

  • Functional prototypes and fit samples
  • Presentation parts in several colours or materials
  • Fixture components and jigs
  • Build volume up to 330 × 320 × 320 mm, larger parts in segments
  • No cloud: your data never leaves our network
