Mould tooling is a vital aspect of plastic manufacturing, and while the initial cost of producing the tool can be substantial, the economies of scale make it worth the investment. However, it’s still essential to avoid unnecessary expenses during the design for manufacturing (DFM) process. In this article, we take a closer look at some of PRV Engineering’s top tips for saving money on mould tooling.

CNC Milling Machines are used to shape metal and other solid materials using specialised cutting tools programmed and managed by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems. The machining process creates a specific part or product with the help of CAD software, short for Computer-Aided Design.
Today, you won’t find many items that haven’t gone through CNC milling machines as most sectors rely on this specialised process. Some examples are cars, aeroplanes, machine parts, moulds for household machines, toys and even prosthetics. All of these are likely to have one or several CNC-machined components.

The aerospace sector wouldn’t exist today without outsourced, precision engineering services and components. While the majority of land vehicles are designed, constructed and tested in-house, the same does not apply to most aircraft.
Considering the number and diversity of aeroplane, spacecraft, satellite and helicopter components, aerospace engineering relies heavily on production chains and outsourced projects. It’s a complex process as each part or component must be designed and built to fit in with the overall plan.
