Tool trials are just one example of how we deliver an impeccable service that sets us apart from all other moulders in the nation. And today, we’re going to delve into the importance of tool trials, giving you a better understanding of why you should invest in this one-off start-up expense.
What are tool trials?
Let’s cover their purpose of injection moulding tooling services first. This fail-safe step involves one of our tooling experts who will identify the most appropriate tooling configuration. This is based entirely on your component; its shape, material and bath quantity too. Our mission is to optimise your expenditure on plastic injection moulding by offering the highest quality components.
Why are tool trials imperative?
There are many reasons as to why testing plastic moulding tools is crucial for our clients. Below are the key points.
Save Money & Time
Firstly and one of the most important factors is the efficiency in both time and money. While tooling trials are an early expense, they avoid the risk of mistakes or additional production time later on down the line. Especially if technicians identify ways to improve the outcome even more so.
As a result, we also reduce the time it takes to achieve your desired results as they will be accomplished on the first run. Therefore, we deliver your product promptly, keeping your projects on schedule.
Trial & Error
Secondly, our injection moulding tooling services offer the ability to trial and error concepts to see what works best for your project. Our expert technicians will have the knowledge to advise you. But, if there is a discussion of other options, it’s at this stage that we will trial them. Our mission is to provide you with a product that fulfils its purpose, and our in-depth systems guarantee this.
Supports Success
Tool trials are vital in ensuring moulded components are effective in their appearance and purpose. Through several assessments, we will analyse tools to identify any cost savings or issues before plastic injection moulding. At Stephens Plastics, we undergo mould design and trials for tools such as cold-fed simple or complex, single tip, multi-cavity hot runner moulds, open & shut mould tools and high, cavity, fast cycling tools, amongst others.
