Turnkey tooling, concept to cavity. We design, cut and validate production moulds in-house — VMC, EDM and precision fitting, engineered for high-volume runs at micron-level accuracy.
A mould is the
single biggest variable in part quality.
Get the tool right and every shot that follows is repeatable, on-spec and cheap to run. Get it wrong and no amount of process tuning recovers it. That's why we treat mould engineering as the heart of what we do, not an afterthought to moulding.
Annika builds production moulds end to end under one roof: design-for-manufacturability, full 3D mould design, cavity and core machining on VMC and EDM, hand fitting, polishing and texturing, then trials and dimensional sign-off — all before the tool ever reaches your line. Because tooling, moulding and inspection sit in the same building, we control the variables that usually get lost between vendors.
A cross-section of a two-plate mould. Hover or tap any component to see what it does and how we engineer it.
Hover or tap any labelled component — or a chip above — to see how that part is engineered and why it matters to your tool.
Six disciplined stages, each signed off before the next begins.
Design-for-manufacturability and mould-flow analysis on your part.
3D mould design — cavity layout, cooling, feed and ejection.
VMC, CNC milling, sinker & wire EDM, grinding.
Bench fitting, surface finishing and texturing.
Sampling on 120–650 T machines, dimensional sign-off.
Validated tool released to production, with ongoing support.
The workhorse configuration for single-parting-line parts at volume.
Centre or multi-point gating with automatic runner separation.
Runnerless moulding for scrap-free, balanced, faster cycles.
Multiple identical or related parts per shot for higher output.
Metal inserts and two-material parts moulded in a single tool.
Threaded and undercut geometry via lifters, slides and cores.
A summary of what we tool. Exact equipment, steels and lead times are confirmed per project.
