Design
At TPS, we’re so much more than just moulding; we provide complete Design for Manufacturing (DFM) solutions that design your components to integrate easily and efficiently with automated systems and machinery.
Our expertise ensures that each part produced is precision-engineered to fit perfectly in its respective application, ensuring peak performances in automation.
Collaborative Design Process
We believe in keeping our customers very close to the design journey. Our approach is simple and comprehensive:
- First consultation on the needs of your project
- Collation of relevant information and drawings
- Detailed timeline and cost mapping
- Selection of materials as per your needs
- Regular communication for your vision alignment
We are able to engineer performance parts, through collaboration, to achieve the needed improvements in efficiency, durability and reliability on anything from medical-grade stainless steel parts to specialised materials for the most unique of applications.
State-of-the-Art Design Tools and Technologies
We bring your vision to life with the help of some of the latest design tools and technologies:
- Advanced CADCAM Software: We use the latest 2D and 3D modelling software, including SolidWorks and AlphaCAM, so your components are represented digitally in the most accurate way possible.
- JoMaSy (Job Management Systems) Toolroom Management: Specialised management software ensures that our tooling processes are managed well.
- In-House 3D Printing and Scanning: Rapid prototyping capabilities ensure rapid iteration and refinement before perfecting the design prior to production.
State-of-the-Art Toolroom Facilities
Our prevalent and extensive in-house toolroom is updated with machinery to deal with complex design requirements of customers, including:
- 5 CNC mills and 2 CNC lathes for accurate machining
- 2 CNC sparker EDM and 1 wire machine EDM for complicated detail work
- 3 surface grinders for high quality of finish
- 3 manual lathes/mills for specialised jobs
- Sandblasting and ultrasonic cleaning equipment for perfect surface preparation and cleanliness
Full and Flexible Modification Capabilities
Understanding perfection often needs fine tuning. We provide scope for minor revisions to be made when the tools or moulds arrive. This way, you get the final product exactly as per your specifications and requirements.
Complete Solutions
TPS doesn’t just design moulds; we deliver solutions. Our customers trust our know-how and large network of partnerships to get the finished products to the highest standards of quality and performance.
The decision to entrust TPS with your design and manufacturing requirements is a decision to collaborate with a team that ensures your ideas come to life.
