The problem with many toolmaker and injection moulding company websites is that they try to be everything to everybody. It's our opinion that we are all busy enough and don't need to waste your time pretending to be something that we are not. Plenty of companies will tell you that they are set up to produce millions of plastic mouldings.
It sounds strange to say this in an industry which prides itself on its blue-collar background but we are pretty much a 'boutique' toolmaker and moulding specialist with our focus firmly on the low- to medium-volume client base. Your business can benefit from our experience and technical expertise.

Services
There are a lot of buzzphrases and acronyms around these days, such as 'Design For Manufacturability' ('DFM'). DFM comes closest to expressing how we think you can take advantage of our services in this area. But it still doesn't explain exactly how we are going to be able to help you. Essentially, you can benefit from our expertise in the design process to avoid unexpected pitfalls along the way.
Plastic injection mould toolmaking and moulding have gone through dramatic changes over the last 25 years due to the advances in CNC technology and CAD. The production of complex products that could only be dreamed of in the past has been opened up by CAD and CAM.
But the manufacture of complicated injection moulded parts can be troublesome and costly if proper analysis is not undertaken before committing to the manufacture of expensive mould tooling.Software companies have overcome this problem by developing moulding analysis software that allows a filling simulation of the plastic part.

Many rapid tooling suppliers use mould unit die systems in aluminium and tend to opt for high-speed machining techniques coupled with grit blasting or polishing. This reduces the need for EDM (spark erosion) and lowers the additional time which would be needed for electrode manufacture and subsequent spark erosion operations.
Although our primary focus these days is on our rapid tooling process, our roots remain firmly grounded in high volume production tooling. BK Tooling can offer experience and insight during the entire process of getting injection mouldings from the point of concept into the market place. We can help particularly where the customers starting point is a few hundred mouldings but the target is in the millions.
If you are looking for a plastic injection moulding company, we're probably not who you need. And it's unlikely that we are going to be able to compete with your favourite large-order moulding supplier. If you are looking for an experienced company with personal service who will take your idea from design through to product, we'll be happy to hear from you.
