Product Development

Reverse Engineering

We work actively and closely with our customers in developing products engineering 2D and 3D drawings from existing parts or tools, that is the "reverse" of the normal engineering process. For that purpose, we are equipped with advanced 3D laser scanner, CMM machines and software packages including Pro/Engineer amongst others.

Concurrent Engineering

One of the keys to obtaining high quality is concurrent engineering, in which operations manager & mold designers from mold maker's side and part designers from customer's side work closely together in the initial phases of product design to ensure that manufacturing requirements and process capabilities are SYNCHRONIZED. The result is much better quality molds and customers, hence, achieve substantial savings on both their product development and mold manufacturing time & costs.

Prototype

When plastic parts are still at initial design and/or marketing stages, we at NUIGL work close to our customer and try to reduce his overall tools cost and lead times. One way to do this is by quoting to our customer ONLY core/cavity UNITS and using our own Moldbases to inject parts using plastic resin, which the customer intends to use later on for his mass production.

Using this system enables us to produce many (family) parts of similar plastics using one UNIT as well as using different plastics, which is something we have considered to suit your budget using mechanical techniques to direct plastic flow inside tool runners into certain cavities, which can produce hundreds of parts enough for your evaluation and physical tests!

Modify your prototype tool rather than your production tool to save and reduce your costs substantially before you go into production.
