We’re now able to offer a comprehensive 3D scanning service. This enables us to help customers reverse engineer products and parts for injection moulding, and to carry out extensive analysis to assess dimensional tolerances and conformity.
As injection mould manufacturing processes have evolved, so too has the development of specialised technical engineering materials.
We’re always delighted when a member of our team – particularly those just starting out on their career – reaches new levels of excellence.
The recent Coronavirus pandemic has focussed the attention of companies throughout industry on the need to offer their customers or end-users enhanced protection from bacteria and viruses.
Many injection moulded parts and assemblies require the use of specialised materials or surface finishes that provide specific properties. These include the ability to control or prevent radio and electromagnetic interference: EMI and RFI.
A new medical-grade polymer, developed by Eastman Chemical, and recently made available on the UK market, looks set to create exciting opportunities for the development of medical device housings and equipment. The new Eastman Tritan MXF321 copolyester offers an interesting set of characteristics. The material is flame-resistant and withstands sustained exposure to over 30 different disinfectants and cleaning chemicals that are …

The advent of additive manufacturing has given engineers across industry new and exciting ways of designing and manufacturing components and finished parts. In the field of injection moulding, the additive manufacturing process …
The Plazology team and OGM analysed the performance of mould inserts using the Moldex3D simulation system, then verified its findings with physical mould trials using their in-house Krauss Maffei 1200KN Electric moulding machine.
Following the 2016 referendum result, when the UK voted to leave the European Union, the value of the Pound against other leading currencies fell by over 10% and has never recovered. The cost of imports has been higher ever since. On their own, the higher cost of imported industrial goods may not be an overwhelming …
