Our innovation in action

BLANK TOGGLE
Defence

The development of several components using MIM technology rather than traditional PIM methods led to dramatic cost, weight and prototyping time savings for a leading defence manufacturer. Over a 90 day turnaround our rapid prototyping and R&D facilities developed an initial concept into a product for manufacture. The initial project led to 10 other key components of their supply to be changed from PIM to MIM technology.

Electronics
HPM’s ability to mould advanced polymers in thin sections allowed us to create a performance Bobbin for the lighting industry. Made from a very stiff polymer it withstands the mechanical stresses of coil winding and the thermal stresses of soldering. The Bobbin is manufactured to very tight dimensional tolerances.
Engineering
Manufactured from the premier polymer PEEK, we designed a component to support a high-powered laser lamp. These lasers are used in many engineering applications such as welding and cutting and can be found operating on car production lines such as Ford and General Motors. The material has to withstand very high temperatures and mechanical abuse.
Health & Safety
We manufactured a vital component for Emergency Life Jackets which exhibits all the complexity required for such a demanding application. With various un-screwing and intersecting cores in the moulding tool only the most modern and accurate moulding machines will do with first class quality control for such a critical device.
Media
We manufactured an over-moulded component that was supplied to factories in the UK, Italy and Central America. The precision turned metal screw was manufactured by HPM and over moulded in one of our specialist moulding machines to create a vital part for professional quality tripods used by many media operators.
Medical
HPM used its materials knowledge to find the best grade of fortified polymer to create some core components for artificial feet. The demands of the application required a flexible yet very tough material to be moulded around an aluminium cup, creating an artificial skeleton over which is moulded a cosmetic prosthesis. The parts went through rigorous dynamic testing before introduction into the market.
Railways

Our R&D and rapid prototyping facilities have led to the UK development of new technology and a product for the railway signalling market that will change the way that railway infrastructure is approached. The customer has benefited in all areas of their own supply to the end user, by delivering a cheaper, more robust and a longer living product.

You have a new design? Need a new mould? Need extra capacity? Need innovative thinking?

We pride ourselves on being able to take an idea from just a thought to a pre-production sample, and ultimately right through into production.
