How Would We Proceed With Your Project?

Initially we would produce a 3D drawing of your proposed product for you if you have not already got one. If you are happy with the design we could get an SLA* model made so that you can actually try the product. Providing the SLA is satisfactory to you we would initiate tooling production. After the tool is complete we would sample the mould and check the mouldings for size, colour, function etc. If necessary we would then make any tooling adjustments required and then re-sample. Once you are satisfied that the sample meets your exact requirements we would proceed to manufacture your product. *Stereolithography/SLAs are used in the research and design stages of a product. This is a rapid way to produce one part and takes approximately 1-3 days. SLAs can subsequently be used for conformity of fit, size, and function. Contact us now to see how we can help you.

Insert Staking

What is Insert Staking? ...... Using thermal probes, brass or metal inserts are inserted into cavities moulded into the component. Heat from the probe transfers through the insert and melts the plastic surrounding the insert so the insert becomes embedded in the component. This process can be used on a variety of products including fasteners, hinge plates, pivots and hubs to name but a few. This is another of the many services Gilt Edge Plastics are able to provide to customers. Contact us for specialist advice.
