Investment in tooling is often the most costly part of the product development cycle - and therefore it is crucial that the process is managed efficiently and effectively.

Benefits of our service

MotionTouch is experienced in managing tooling production and can therefore offer the following benefits to its clients:

• Significant cost saving (up to 50%) from tooling production in China
• In-house tool engineers to ensure production of the most appropriate and cost-efficient tool
• Regular tool maintenance to sustain production quality and tool life
• Third party inspection prior to dispatch

Tooling considerations

There are important considerations to be made before the tool is made:

• Type of steel to be used as it will impact its lifespan
• Position of the injection point, the draft angles and side actions required
• The best location for the product's manufacture

Once capital has been committed to the tooling the timely delivery of the first production run is imperative. This is a high profile period for a company, both internally and externally, as both colleagues and customers are waiting for the first delivery.

Client service support

MotionTouch supports its clients through the tooling process, working to answer the key questions and make the best decisions for the project. It is essential to have the right skills available to manage the smooth delivery of the tooling and troubleshoot any problems that may occur along the way. The MotionTouch production team has the quality inspection, tooling and management expertise (both on-site at the factory and in the UK) necessary to manage this process with the factory. Our client service team will provide local liaison for the client with the production team.

This extensive infrastructure is key to successful tooling production.
