What do you mean by low volume parts? 

Precision Moulded Products can run as few as 100 parts on a Manumould due to the quick set-up time. To find out more about the Manumould process click here.

What do you mean by low cost tooling? 

PMP reduces costs by taking a holistic approach, covering component design, moulding process selection, tool design and tool procurement. For further information, click here

What is tooling manufacturing lead times? 

The normal lead times for the manufacturing of tooling are around 6 weeks. However, a rapid service is available for urgently required components. PMP keep a tight control of the manufacturing process by designing the tool in-house and if appropriate manufacturing in-house as well. We also use other approved tool-makers both in the UK and overseas. 

What materials can you process? 

PMP process all common polymers and special high specification materials to meet rigorous performance criteria. Many materials and colours are available from stock. Check our material list.

What format of CAD data can you take in and handle? 

We work to the latest CAD packages and can use most formats. Please see our Solid Modelling, CAD & Prototype information.

Can you design components and tools in 3D? 

Yes, we will either work from your 3D model or develop a 'thumb nail' sketch into a workable design for your end component requirements.

Is it possible to convert my metal component into plastic? 

PMP have done this numerous times making considerable cost savings for our customers. Click here for further information. In addition, our Project Management Team will check the lowest cost method of manufacture by using the facilities of the Group.

Can you help us with product/component design?

Yes, our design engineers will work with you to develop your component ideas. Send us your drawings today and will we contact you directly and make our recommendations. Our team will advise you on your component and tool design, therefore limiting the compromise between the two functions. Please see our Component Design link.

Can you make a rapid prototype/ SLA pattern for us?

PMP can take a 3D model and produce a rapid prototype, which can then be developed and modified as required. Please refer to Solid Modelling, CAD & Prototype information.

Will you carry stock for us? 

PMP are always willing to manufacture and hold components in stock against forward order, which can be delivered on a Kanban basis if required. We are also used to Just-in-Time delivery demands.

Do you have a quality assurance programme? 

PMP is a registered company under the ISO 9001:2000 programme. Check how we achieve quality and the quality certificate for further information. 

What is the largest and smallest size of part that can be moulded? 

We can produce components that have a shot weight of less than a gram up to 150g. To give you an idea of the types of components please click here.

Can you mould two plastics in one component? 

No problem! Normally this carried out in 2 separate moulding operations often using the Manumould process. For examples of products using two plastics, please click here.

What can be over-moulded? 

We can overmould a variety of materials and components. You may require a two colour component with hard and soft plastic or have a metal insert or electrical cable. Our benefits of manumold section goes into greater detail.

What do you mean by Manumould? 

Manumould is a very unusual injection moulding process using very low cost tooling to produce a small batch of components. Click here for more information.

We need a widget making for us. How do we set about this? 

PMP can help with all aspects of the product design right through from concept, prototyping, tooling design and manufacture to moulding of the component and assembly/packing of the finished product; in fact complete project management.

What kind of industries do you serve?

PMP have developed components for a wide range of market sectors, which include; automotive, medical, industrial, luxury items, electrical, marine and packaging to name just a few. The list is endless and components range from complicated electrical assemblies to small batches of furniture parts.
