AAC TECHNOLOGY || Tooling Process

Tooling Design

Tooling design work is carried out both in the UK and at the manufacturing source. Tooling is never produced without a detailed brief being supplied to the toolmaker and the client is always supplied with tooling layouts for each mould. This ensures that tooling is made to an agreed standard and will be fully approved by all parties working together as a team.

Tooling Procurement

AAC Technology has tooling resource available to suit any need. The clients’ requirements are discussed and agreed which enables the sourcing decision to be based on a sound knowledge of the requirements for each project. At this stage we would consider the correct and appropriate location from which to source the tooling, dependent on timescales, budget and technical requirements.

Moldflow

AAC Technology can supply a reliable Moldflow presentation for its clients very quickly. This ensures that any doubts about feed points and fill patterns are resolved before tooling is procured. This has proven to be a successful approach especially with complex tooling that requires a high quality component to be delivered from the tooling.

Tooling Project Management

The fact that AAC Technology has a wide range of knowledge for tooling, a good supply base and works closely with clients and suppliers means that we offer a very individual and personal service. The ability to react quickly and to supply comprehensive project information means that there are no hidden surprises that would compromise the client on tool cost, quality or timing. Our service is tailored to meet the demands of the client and the project.

Product Design Consultancy

AAC Technology has resource available to assist with product development from concept through to production. We welcomes the opportunity to work with clients in the early stages of design to ensure that designs are de bugged for tooling before the kick off date. This removes the risk of delays in timing as a result of unforeseen issues with cad models.

Production Procurement

AAC Technology has developed a strong network of suppliers and can assist with procurement of products from this supply base. Our suppliers understand the need to be competitive whilst still offering a quality assured service.
