Component & Mould Design

There are a number of ways in which Vertex can be involved in the design of your products.  For new products or ideas, we can help by developing the technical drawings necessary for future production and for existing products, we can use your drawings and develop a single or multi-impression mould tool for use in manufacturing.

Component Design

We work with our customers who are developing new products and add technical input to their design or ideas to create a feasible plastic moulded product.  Using 3-dimensional graphic programs, we can show you what your product will look like before it goes to manufacture.  This ability to preview the product before the moulding process can not only aid in developing an effective design but also result in significant cost savings as you can be assured that you will get the product you envision.

Mould Design

After the CAD drawings of the component are completed - either by Vertex or supplied to us by our customer - we can then produce mould tool drawings from which the final tool will be made.  We work with a local manufacturer to produce the tool as quickly and cost effectively as possible.

We have developed our own "prototyping tool" to save time & money by accommodating an insert rather than having to manufacture the entire mould tool.  This tool can then also

be used for initial production runs.
