From Sketch to Shelf, Our Process
Whether you're refining a character model OR finalising a collectible casing,
We make the development process simple, fast and repeatable.
1. Share your design
Send us your CAD file or sketch. We’ll review your idea and assess its mouldability.
2. DFM review & simulation
We provide design for manufacture (DFM) input and run Moldflow simulation to identify risks - helping you avoid costly tool rework.
3. Tooling & sampling
We produce steel or aluminium tools suited to your batch size and deliver first-off samples for review.
4. Low-volume production
Parts are injection moulded in your chosen material - be it ABS, PP, PC, TPE or blends suited to toys and gaming applications.
5. Quality assurance & fulfilment
All parts are inspected for accuracy, finish, and assembly fit. We can support kitting, packaging or onward shipping.
Design Support & Manufacturability Feedback
Many toy and gaming companies approach us before they've finalised their CAD files. That's a smart move.
We provide
- Early-stage DFM guidance to reduce sink marks, flash and weak points.
- Advice on material properties for safety, durability and colour matching.
- Joint and clip design feedback to ensure assembly works at scale.
- Wall thickness and venting suggestions to prevent warping and flow issues.
And when you're ready, we provide mould-ready revisions OR CAD annotations to align your design with real-world constraints - without losing the creative essence.
Benefits of UK-Based Short-Run Production
- Shorter lead times (no delays at ports or customs).
- Direct communication with your engineering partner.
- Faster Iterations during development cycles.
- Quality control and traceability at every stage.
- No MOQ pressure ideal for testing markets or crowdfunding runs.
- IP and design protection with UK-based operations.
What We Help Make
We support designers and merch teams producing:
- Character heads, limbs, torsos and capes.
- Clip-on accessories (weapons, helmets, tools).
- Custom dice, tokens, controller caps, casings.
- Brackets, bases and part connectors for modular designs.
- Plastic parts for collectible packaging or stands.
Whether it's fully aesthetic or partially functional - we'll help you get it made properly.
FAQs
We mould parts that are then painted, flocked or coated externally. While we don't paint in-house, we can design for post-processing success.
HI-PS, ABS, PP, PC, and TPE are commonly used. We help you choose based on grip, gloss, colour matching, flexibility or compliance needs.
We specialise in short runs. Our minimums typically start around 500 units, but we review each project individually.
Yes. We support first-time creators and indie studios with prototypes, design feedback and low-risk production options.
Absolutely. We can test-fit samples, assess tool condition or advise if changes are needed before production.
