Prototype & Development
After many decades of prototyping and development work HPM offer a wealth of advice and experience. Quite often we have resolved your development issues in similar circumstances.
The best development is always done after consultation and we are happy to spend time talking through your prototype requirements. We can handle most types of CAD file, or can work from your basic 2D sketches.
Our toolmaking services and development moulding capabilities allow you to have production-intent parts at a fraction of the cost. We maintain a stock of development tools of various sizes. This means your prototyping costs are kept low – you just pay for the cavity blocks.
Fixed price service
When it comes to moulding development components we offer a “fixed price” service so you know what you are getting.
By selecting the correct metals for development tooling we can accommodate almost any amount of form changes. “Soft” tooling sometimes needs to be quite hard, especially for developing products in polymers like PEEK. Correct heating of development tools is also vital.

Our innovation in action
BLANK TOGGLE
Automotive
It took our material knowledge and processing expertise to bring a diesel injector product to market. The customer demanded extensive trials and experimentation before the product could be fitted to vehicles and it formed the start of a long line of products giving our OEM customer a significant market lead worldwide.
“The only sound you hear in a Rolls Royce is the ticking of the clock” which is why this gearbox for a Rolls Royce seat is so special. Not only does it have to perform to Rolls Royce’s exemplary quality standards, but it is so quiet it must be tested in a sound-proofed room. Materials, design, and assembly expertise were all bought to bear on this challenging development.

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.
