Selection of Manumold Components

The parts shown here have been economically moulded in batches of just hundreds off using the Manumold process with its low cost tooling. 
How is this possible? The low tooling cost arises from the simplicity of the Manumold process on account of manual operation. The piece part price is a little higher than with automated moulding, also on account of manual operation, but this makes the Manumold process a winner for low volume mouldings. 

Benefits of the Manumold Process:

• Low tooling cost.

• Manually operated tool opening and ejection.

• Process a wide range of plastics.

• No problem with low volumes.

• Ideal for new product development.

• Can change colour and type of material quickly, resulting in low wastage.

• Benefits from bespoke parts, e.g: can use any colour, mould holes and logos into the component.

• Wide range of moulding variations available.

Manumold Tool

Typical applications include:

• Low volume production – often replacing metal parts 

• Insert & Overmoulding - metal or plastic components or electrical wiring 

• Prototyping prior to automated tooling for high volumes 

• Internal and external threaded mouldings - without the need for unscrewing devices
