Tool making PMP

Tool creation and maintenance

Toolroom capabilities

Our in-house toolroom is fully equipped to manufacture, repair, and maintain a full range of plastic tooling. PMP offer various tooling options with different levels of capability. From prototype, through to short pre-production runs, all the way to full production quantities.

PMP are specialists in tooling for plastic injection moulding, and other forms of moulding. We can offer various types of tooling depending on need, offering the most cost-effective solution. We have strong partnerships with other local tool making companies that offer us support in times of high demand, meaning you can rest assured that PMP has the capacity to produce tooling for your needs.

Tooling for every volume

PMP can produce tooling for the following:

Low volume production

Soft tooling that is designed for a few thousand cycles before wearing out.

Medium volume production

P20 (pre toughened) tooling that is designed for many thousands of cycles.

Higher volume/ongoing production

Fully hardened tooling in various guises, designed for long term use and ongoing production.

Extra cost efficiency with PMP’s “Family Tools”

When the cost of several mould tools becomes prohibitive, PMP can offer ‘Family Tools’ that produce more than just one component design, improving the cost-effectiveness of the solution. We can also offer cost-effective tooling solutions by way of using our own existing bolsters, leaving only the cost of design and manufacture of the working core and cavity kits which can be designed and manufactured to fit into the bolsters.

In addition to our in-house capabilities, we are able to reliably source certain tools from the Far East. This gives customers the potential to further drive down costs without comprising quality and delivery times.  Every project is handled by local PMP staff, who oversee every step of the tool making process. We have trusted engineers on-site to monitor production and report back on a daily or weekly basis.

Hard tooling

Renovating and improving existing tooling

We also have experience of renovating tooling from other suppliers. Even if it is of low quality, thanks to our level of expertise, we are able to renovate it for short term use, enabling you to get the production you need at short notice. If ongoing supply is needed from old tooling, we can analyse the existing tooling by modelling it in a 3D space and produce new designs that achieve much better results in a higher quality tool that will last for its intended purpose.

Tooling up a better service

Hard tooling can be an expensive investment, so maintenance and care is critical to cost efficiency and longevity. Our dedicated engineering department has the capability of creating new tooling as well as maintaining existing hard tooling to ensure tolerances and quality are maintained for as long as possible.
