Buyer FAQ

Common questions about Tool Repair & Refurbishment

Should I use the original toolmaker for repairs?

Not necessarily. Many UK toolmakers will take on third-party repairs and modifications - particularly when the original supplier is overseas or no longer trading.

How long does a new injection mould take?

Typically 6 to 14 weeks for a single-cavity production mould in the UK, depending on complexity, steel grade and try-out cycles.

What's the difference between production and prototype tooling?

Prototype tooling is built for a short run (often soft steel or aluminium) to validate the part. Production tooling is hardened for hundreds of thousands or millions of shots.
