      Mass Casting Service

      Our mass casting service is designed with you in mind. An alternative to traditional modelling and tooling board materials and CNC machining, mass casting creates a single-piece, near-net-shape (NNS) tool with no visible bond or witness lines. Working with you, we can create simple or complex near-net-shape tooling, at our facility in Leicester, UK, ensuring your tool is as close to the final shape and size as possible. This reduces the amount of post-production machining and finishing required, saving you time and resources and resulting in less waste material. Using your CAD drawings and designs, first we create a bespoke negative mould for your tool using one of our industry-leading, low-density polyurethane materials. We then select the system for casting based on your application and requirements and use the negative mould to cast your near-net-shape tool. We have a range of materials available for mass casting applications and near-net-shape tooling, with densities ranging from 600 kg/m3 to 1,700 kg/m3.

      Material Roll handling unit for rolls up to 500kg

      The Transroll is a flexible fabric roll transport and storing system with an automatic roll changer system for direct installation at a cutters front end. It is combined with either a bullmer spreading machine, a cradle, or a cradle installed in front of a cutter, especially for single ply cutting. The functional interlinking of this system combination ensures automatic work flow from roll provision, through automatically programmed roll change, to fabric spreading and cutting. Remarkably, only one person is required to operate the entire system with the components and processes described. Due to the combination of a number of different work sequences – a continuous automatic process with roll mounting/roll provision/roll feeding for spreading or cutting/ unrolling/roll rewinding to storage – the Transroll enables significant savings in time and thus improves the cost effectiveness of the process chain. The more frequently the roll is changed and the smaller the number of cut-outs per fabric roll, the greater the time savings and consequently the greater the cost effectiveness of the Transroll.
