Mould Design and Manufacture
3D Plastic injection mould design is one of the core skills of Elemental Manufacturing. We can also design moulds for pressure die casting, vacuum forming, blow moulding and LSR - liquid silicone rubber moulds.
All mould designs are completed in full 3D and can be delivered with detailed 2D drawings and BOM if required. The 3D mould designs are truly indicative, with every component, screws, O ring's, air vents and all accessories modelled into the mould assembly in full 3D, creating a verbatim representation of the finished mould.
We also offer an in house mould flow analysis service using industry leading Moldex 3D software. This can provide basic information around gating and filling as well as a complete and comprehensive analysis covering the full suite of injection analysis tools along with a specialised detailed fibre orientation module and accurate structural predictions.
As well as designing moulds, we offer a range of manufacturing services as well. With a selection of local and overseas suppliers, we can offer quality toolmaking services fit for purpose with different emphasis on cost, timing and quality, depending on the customer requirement. From entry level budget and prototype moulds through to high end through hardened production moulds. Our range of suppliers can accommodate most requirements without compromising on ultimate quality. Based in Sydney, Melbourne, Taiwan and China, we follow the process from start to finish and supervise each stage with our own internal tooling management systems to ensure the optimum outcome for each project undertaken. We have manufactured moulds from 10 Kilograms to 56 Tons, with shot sizes ranging from 0.2 grams to 71 Kilograms.
Elemental manufacturing offers an on site toolmaking / injection moulding consultancy service in Taiwan and China aimed at assisting Australian manufacturers navigate and debug negative tooling situations in Asia. Whether it be faulty or problematic tooling, unsuccesful mould trials or difficulties with local suppliers, we can assist in a variety of ways to help achieve a positive outcome using both local and Australian resources.
