Dura can design, build and install bespoke solutions to exactly meet your requirements. We are proud to have our own in-house design team with our UK-based manufacturing facility boasting the latest technology. Combined with our near three-decades of experience, we are uniquely positioned to understand your wants and needs to create a solution that exactly meets your every requirement. One example of this is the Fluid Service Bench, a concept created by a long standing Dura customer and created specifically for the customer. Alf England, a four-generation motorcycle dealer, has utilised Dura furniture in workshops for more than 20 years. In 2023, the business approached Dura with a new challenge; a completely one-off piece of furniture, designed by the technicians to exactly meet their needs. Working hand-in-hand, Dura's designers turned a simple sketch into a world-class piece of bespoke workshop furniture. ​ Within a space of just six months, Alf England’s idea had gone from a simple concept sketch to a fully installed, one-off workspace. The final piece was designed and built to their specification. Fully manufactured and installed by Dura, it now equips Alf England to offer a unique, industry leading service, expanding their service offer, customer base and ultimately enhancing the company’s bottom line. Today, Alf England’s technicians have a world-class environment to complete specialist tasks. This clean space is essential to many of these tasks, which can now be completed with greater ease and efficiency. Features, such as the retractable drip tray, increase the safety, efficiency, and practicality of the space to unparalleled levels. Aesthetically, the space reflects the same levels of professionalism as Alf England and its employees. It inspires confidence in their customers who entrust their motorbikes with the team at Alf England.

Need something more tailored than an off-the-shelf course? MTI's unique partnership can support you.

Your reliable partner for drying, storing, and tempering 3D printer filaments for maximum part performance. MAXIMIZE YOUR PART'S PERFORMANCE The DRYCON is the only dual-chamber machine on the market that combines three functions: drying, storage, and tempering. It was designed to be the perfect partner for your 3D printer, helping you unlock the full potential of your additive manufacturing process. DRYCON Delivers Quality Improve the quality, strength, and durability of your 3D prints. Through drying, optimal storage, and tempering, you ensure your parts perform at their best and are durable. WHY DRY FILAMENTS? Improves Print Quality Hygroscopic filaments absorb moisture, leading to bubbles, holes, and poor layer bonding. Drying ensures a smooth surface and higher print quality. Increases Print Success Rate Moisture in filaments leads to irregular flow, causing under- or over-extrusion, stringing, and bleeds. Drying filaments can reduce print errors and failures. Keeps filaments print-ready Completely dried and optimally stored filaments save valuable time. Drying saves you the time required for pre-printing steps, allowing you to start printing immediately. Ensures dimensional accuracy Wet filaments expand unevenly during printing, leading to warping and inaccuracies. Drying ensures precise prints by preserving the material's original shape. Improves mechanical strength Prints made with wet filament are weaker and prone to cracking. Dry filaments, on the other hand, ensure better layer adhesion and more robust prints.

Cut smarter & maximise productivity with intelligent CAD/CAM software that reduces waste & streamlines production.

Bladder moulding is a technique where a custom-made inflated silicone pressure bag or a solid silicone intensifier provides the consolidation pressure within a fully enclosed tooling system, this process uses aluminium tooling, which is placed into a heated platen press for the curing cycle. This method is faster than autoclave processing due to the ability to heat tools more quickly and demould at elevated temperatures. Bladder mould tooling produces hollow or single-sided parts, similar to an autoclave. However, it allows for undercuts and intricate details due to the high pressures involved and the ability to use removable inserts in the aluminium tooling. One side/ the outer surface of the component will have a tooled ‘A’ surface, while the other, or internal surface, will be the ‘B’ or bag surface. Bladder moulding is not limited to monolithic components; foam cores can be used to add stiffness to specific or larger areas and composite hardpoints can be co cured in position. One of the overarching benefits to using aluminium tooling and heated press curing is that bladder moulding, and compression moulding can be combined in hybrid tools offering the precision and surface complexity of compression moulding along with the tooling simplicity of using a pressure bag.

With decades of experience and an expert team, we can support you with building and blocking-up of your chosen tooling boards, saving you time and offering a fast turnaround. Once you have selected the right tooling board for your application, you simply send your CAD or blocking drawings to our special projects team, who can provide a quote for completing your blocking-up project. We work as an extension of your team, providing you with a blocked-up pattern ready for CNC machining or rough cutting. Our large platen press and blocking-up area can facilitate patterns up to 3 meters long and 1.3 meters wide.
