How we work
Numbers made clearer.
This section explains the practical production choices behind your moulds, from tray yield and process scale to bench work and keeping master patterns on file.

What these pages cover
These pages break down the production decisions that shape cost, output and repeatability. They cover how many parts you want per cycle, how the mould will be made, and when a more hands-on route makes sense.
If you already know your likely volumes, start with multi-cavity tooling or scaled production. If your part is still developing, hand-poured and master patterns will help you see how early-stage work and future repeat orders fit together.
