Product and mould engineering
Product and mould engineering: innovative solutions for rubber products
In the rubber industry, moulds play a crucial role in forming and producing high-quality rubber products. They ensure that the rubber gets the desired shape and can be produced efficiently. At Artech we offer a complete package of services in the field of design, product and mould engineering.
From design to production
Our experienced technicians will guide you from the first design to the production of your molds. Through a detailed drawing process and our expertise in product and mould engineering, we ensure precision and a perfect end result. If necessary, we combine this process with Rapid Prototyping, so that you can receive test products quickly.
Own mould workshop: Quality and speed
With a fully equipped in-house mould workshop, we produce your moulds ourselves. Our CNC-controlled machines offer precision and flexibility for various techniques such as turning, milling, spark erosion, welding, drilling and tapping. We can also develop moulds for TPE and plastic moulded parts in-house.
Types of moulds
We offer various types of moulds, suitable for your product and production process:
- Compression moulds: Suitable for simple shapes such as gaskets and seals.
- Transfer moulds: Ideal for complex shapes and high precision products.
- Injection moulds: Perfect for mass production and products with complicated geometries.
Scaling up and adjustments
At Artech we can convert existing moulds from single to multiple, or adapt them for injection moulding. This enables us to quickly switch to larger series when demand increases.
Storage and maintenance
Your moulds are safely stored in our mould hotel. After use, we thoroughly clean and treat the moulds so that they are immediately ready for reuse. Any repairs are carried out internally, which contributes to a long lifespan and optimal performance.
Artech’s lead
With our expertise in rubber processing, various production techniques and our own mould design, we offer a unique combination of speed, quality and cost savings. This makes us the ideal partner for the development and production of your rubber products.
