How we work
Manufacturing Process
Each stage states its purpose and the quality consideration that goes with it — without promising unverified tolerances or defect rates.
-
Requirement review
Purpose: understand the component, its application and the customer's drawings, quantities and timeline. Quality consideration: feasibility and completeness of requirements before anything is committed.
-
Material selection and preparation
Purpose: select and prepare high-quality polymer materials for the component. Quality consideration: consistent strength and durability in every component.
-
Mould setup
Purpose: install and maintain precision-engineered moulds for the component. Quality consideration: accurate dimensions and flawless surface finishes.
-
Injection moulding
Purpose: inject molten plastic into the mould under controlled pressure and temperature. Quality consideration: optimal part quality through controlled parameters and monitoring.
-
Cooling and ejection
Purpose: cool the components and eject them safely, retaining precise shape and finish. Quality consideration: shape retention and finish before further processing.
-
Secondary finishing and coating, where applicable
Purpose: finishing operations for components whose route includes them — for example aluminizing of reflectors, vibration and ultrasonic welding, assembly, or hard coating of lenses. Quality consideration: finish and joint checks appropriate to the operation. This stage applies only where it is part of the product route.
-
Quality inspection
Purpose: check components against the agreed requirements. Quality consideration: dimensional accuracy, appearance and durability — see the quality approach.
-
Packaging and dispatch
Purpose: prepare inspected components for delivery to the customer. Quality consideration: identification and protection appropriate to the component and journey.
