Feasibility
- The Problem
- Two shot designs are often chosen before anyone checks whether the two materials bond.
- How We Solve It
- Material pairing and bond expectations are reviewed at quotation, before the tool concept is fixed.
Solution
Two Shot And Coating Molds
Complex tooling for parts that combine two materials or need a moulded in surface treatment.
Stage By Stage
What Happens At Each Point And Why
Each stage below names the problem first and our answer second, because the answer only means something once the problem is stated plainly.
Tool Concept
- The Problem
- A two shot tool designed as two single tools bolted together never indexes reliably.
- How We Solve It
- The tool is designed as a two shot tool from the start, with indexing and shut off planned together.
Construction
- The Problem
- Complex tooling subcontracted piecemeal loses its tolerance chain.
- How We Solve It
- Construction stays in our precision mold department, which is set up specifically for complex, high precision, two shot and coating molds.
Sampling
- The Problem
- Two shot parts can look right and delaminate later.
- How We Solve It
- Sampling includes bond behaviour, not only dimensions, and we tell you when a material pairing is not going to hold.
