GRP Patterns and Moulds
Expert pattern and mould creation ensuring accurate, repeatable fibreglass production with lasting durability.
From Concept to Full Production
We design and manufacture high-quality patterns and moulds for GRP, composites and specialist fabrication industries. Whether you have a rough sketch, a concept, or an existing component, we turn ideas into engineered, production-ready tooling built for durability, accuracy and performance.
Any Size. Any Shape. Any Complexity.
Our in-house team can produce patterns and moulds for virtually any requirement, including:
- Large or small multisplit moulds
- Cylindrical, conical or irregular shapes
- Precision bolting flanges and alignment features
- One-off prototypes through to full production tooling
- Highly detailed or complex geometries
If you can picture it, we can make it.
From Sketch to Production-Ready Tooling
We specialise in turning thoughts and sketches into fully engineered tooling:
- SolidWorks 3D CAD modelling
- Engineered pattern development
- Final mould production
Every tool is designed with structural integrity, usability and repeatability in mind.
3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering
Perfect for legacy components, industrial systems and precision-critical applications.
We use 3D scanning to convert physical components into accurate digital models for:
- Replicating existing parts
- Producing replacement moulds
- Modifying or extending designs
- Integrating new features into older tooling
- Combining scan data with engineered SolidWorks features
Pattern Options for Every Application
- Polystyrene Patterns: Fast, lightweight and ideal for prototypes or low-volume tooling.
- Melamine Patterns: Durable, stable and suitable for repeat moulding.
- High-Gloss CNC-Machined Patterns: Premium tooling board patterns offering:
- High-gloss surfaces
- Outstanding dimensional accuracy
- Clean, engineered split lines
- Long mould life
- 3D Printed Patterns: Perfect for small, intricate or highly detailed geometries.
Specialist Moulds
For continuous concrete pouring or abrasive materials or high-wear environments, we manufacture moulds with a specialised additive that dramatically increases service life.
Benefits:
- Outstanding abrasion and impact resistance
- Designed for constant pour or repetitive use
- Longer mould life with reduced maintenance
- Withstanding harsh chemical or aggregate environments
- Customers report that moulds have not needed replacement due to the performance of the additive
- Lower long-term tooling costs
This makes our moulds the preferred choice for precast concrete producers, industrial plants and operations where durability is essential.
Request a Comparison Sample
We can provide comparison samples of our additive-enhanced tooling so you can see the difference firsthand.
What the sample demonstrates:
- Surface hardness and wear resistance
- Structural integrity under abrasion
- Real-world durability compared to standard tooling
- Significantly extended lifespan in constant-pour environments
If you want proof of the performance our tooling delivers, request a sample - and we'll show you exactly how our highwear additive outperforms traditional mould construction.
EnquireLocating Jigs Built Directly Into the Mould
For parts requiring precise placement of brackets, bolt holes or inserts, we can engineer locating jigs directly into the mould.
Benefits:
- Guaranteed bracket and bolt alignment
- Repeatable accuracy every cycle
- Rapid assembly with no measuring required
- Zero alignment errors
- Perfect fit with downstream assemblies
This ensures every part leaves the mould ready for accurate, repeatable installation.
Integrated Steel & Aluminium Frames for Strength & Forklift Handling
For larger or more complex moulds, we fabricate custom welded steel or aluminium support frames and bond them into the mould during construction.
Advantages:
- Excellent structural rigidity
- Safe handling and lifting with forklifts
- Reduced deformation during pouring or demoulding
- Easier movement around worksites
- Long-term durability in industrial environments
Ideal for large concrete moulds, industrial patterns and heavy composite tooling.
EnquireMoulds for RTM, Vacuum Bagging & Silicone Bagging
We design and manufacture moulds suitable for:
- Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM)
- Vacuum bagging
- Silicone bagging
- Resin infusion processes
Features:
- Engineered sealing surfaces
- Accurate split lines
- Vacuum-tight geometry
- Consistent composite laminate consolidation
- High-quality repeated parts
Suitable for automotive, marine, industrial composite and specialist GRP manufacturing.
