Mould & Tool Design Section (MTDS)

Besides undertaking industrial projects in Mould Design, the section also provides design consultancy, EDM die-sinking and wire-cutting, and injection moulding services to support industrial development projects. We have three laboratories to support these training activities and industry projects.

Case Studies

 

Micro injection moulding process is a key enabling technology for micro manufacturing and is widely used as a cost-effective mass production method for a diversity of micro precision-moulded plastic components.
 

To meet the challenge in producing micro components with stringent requirements, innovative mould design concepts and systematic approach to moulding process have been adopted. Advanced machining technology has been employed to produce complex 3D micro tooling structures.
