Tool & Die Making
Tool and die making is at the heart of custom plastic injection moulding. It involves the precise design, engineering and manufacture of high-quality injection moulds that shape molten plastic into complex, repeatable components.
Calibre Plastics provides expert tool and die making services through its established, CNC-capable in-house toolroom, supporting mould design, manufacture, maintenance and production with fast turnaround times, reduced downtime and reliable performance.
PRECISION TOOLING FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION
With more than 60 years of experience, Calibre’s skilled toolmakers and engineers provide support throughout the custom injection moulding process, from initial concept and design through to manufacture and production.
Using advanced CAD/CAM software, CNC machining, manual machining and EDM, the team produces high-precision injection moulds with tight tolerances, intricate detailing and durable construction.
Tooling capabilities extend from single-cavity prototype tools to high-volume multi-cavity production moulds incorporating slides, cooling channels and complex ejector systems.
THE RESULT IS TOOLING DESIGNED TO SUPPORT:
- Dimensional accuracy
- Consistent part quality
- High-quality surface finishes
- Efficient cycle times
- Reduced scrap
- Lower production costs
- Faster time-to-market
