Have an idea or sketch, but not all the choices made yet? We think along about shape, material, manufacturability and intellectual property — from drawing table to first series. Volume still unknown? No problem — that's what this page is about.
Already know what you want to produce but need small volumes? See Low volume.
The biggest gains often lie in the design phase. We point out small changes that save enormously on tooling cost or lead time — sometimes a half-millimetre rounding makes the difference between an €8,000 mould and a €3,500 one.
Do you only have an idea, sketch or photo? No problem. We start by talking about function, use and desired appearance.
Send your CAD or drawing — within a week you'll receive our design scan with points where 10-30% can be saved on tooling cost.
With our master mould technique we can start producing economically from 500-2,000 pieces. Mould insert from €2,500.
Absolutely. We regularly start with a hand sketch or even a verbal description. As the project progresses, we'll help you (or an engaged designer) create the right CAD.
For a simple product: mould insert from €2,500 + unit price from €0.80. With master mould technique often 30-70% cheaper than a traditional dedicated mould.
Great! From 10,000+ pieces per year we consider a dedicated mould for a lower unit price. Growing with you is part of our work.
Yes — that's often the first advice we give. The wrong material can make a product unsellable. In 70 years we've seen enough applications to point you in the right direction quickly.
Confidentially. We're happy to sign an NDA, store designs securely and use your mould only for your products. Our customers know this is standard for us.
