AV Engineering based near Cambridge provide services relating to prototype manufacture. Our flexibility and in house facilities mean we can produce ‘soft’ tooling to manufacture a prototype in the thermo plastic materials of your choice, thus proving its suitability for the intended process. Often this route can save much time and more importantly money, when considering the effectiveness of particular materials or designs prior to large scale production.

The areas where this could be most effective are, blow moulding; rotational moulding; injection moulding and of course thermo forming itself.

Block models can be machined in modelling board or foam directly from CAD modelling data to give a 3 dimensional visual appearance using our high speed 5 axis routers.
