OUR METAL & IRON SERVICES

PATTERNMAKING

Our Pattern Shop forms an integral part of an entire service. The knowledge and experience of our pattern makers have been gained from years of experience in a wide variety of industries. Together, they form a pattern shop team that can handle any task in the way of patterns and die equipment.

The size and shapes of patterns can vary dramatically from extremely small and intricate models to large gears for mining, to tooling for vacuum forming and blister packaging, and storefront and counter displays.From your drawings or sketches, patterns can be made from wood, aluminium, plastics or machined from cast iron. It may be the case that you only require repairs or modifications to existing patterns; again, this can easily be accomplished by our skilled staff.

For the vacuum and blister packaging industry, we can make up prototype tooling so that new tooling can be viewed prior to die-making. This also benefits the cosmetic and display industry, where mock-ups and prototypes are easily made to prevent costly mistakes.

Working in a highly competitive sector has taught us to adapt to different requirements and to come up with creative tooling techniques and ideas. We are sure whatever query you may have, we will be able to help you in all facets of pattern making, even if it is only information that you require. Our friendly, well-trained and experienced staff will be more than willing to help you.
