Idé-Pro specialises in three moulding and casting processes – injection moulding of plastic parts, high pressure die casting (HPDC) of aluminium, zinc and magnesium, and moulding of EPS and EPP. All processes are available for both prototypes and series production, with in-house tool manufacturing and post-processing gathered under one roof in Skive, Denmark.
Idé-Pro manufactures prototypes in plastic, light metal and EPS/EPP using the right process and the right material – meaning injection moulding, high pressure die casting or EPS/EPP moulding in the same process and material as the finished product. This means the prototypes have identical properties, finish and function to the end product and can be used for authentic testing as well as directly in start-up production.
A moulding or casting tool is the form used in the production process to give the part its final shape – whether it is injection moulding of plastic, high pressure die casting (HPDC) of aluminium, zinc and magnesium, or moulding of EPS and EPP. Idé-Pro manufactures all moulding and casting tools in-house in our own tool shop in Skive, with the capacity to produce up to 20 tools per week.
Idé-Pro offers injection moulding in over 2,000 plastic materials – from standard plastics such as PP and PE to engineering plastics such as PA, PC and ABS as well as PPS, PSU and PEEK. For high pressure die casting (HPDC) we stock a wide range of aluminium, zinc and magnesium alloys. For EPS and EPP moulding we offer materials in varying densities and with different properties, including flame retardants and increased impact absorption.
Yes. Idé-Pro provides guidance on the optimal material selection for injection moulding, high pressure die casting and EPS and EPP moulding. We assess the part's requirements for strength, flexibility, temperature resistance and chemical resistance and find the solution that best suits your project and budget.
Lead times vary depending on the process and the complexity of the part. Idé-Pro's standard lead times after approval of a 3D file are as follows:
The price of prototyping and low-volume production at Idé-Pro varies from project to project and depends on factors such as choice of process, material, part geometry, complexity and volume. We always find the solution that best meets requirements for cost, volume and finish. Fill in our quote form and receive a quote within 24 hours.
Yes. Idé-Pro is certified by Force Certification under ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 50001 for energy management. The certifications cover all our moulding and casting processes.
Idé-Pro has broad industry experience and supplies customers worldwide. In automotive we produce for example crashpads and headrests in EPP, in energy we supply parts for heat pumps and wind turbines, and in hi-tech we produce technical plastic parts for electronics and medical equipment. We supply all industries that require prototypes or production parts in plastic, light metal or EPS and EPP.
Yes. Idé-Pro manufactures all moulding and casting tools in-house in our own tool shop in Skive – for injection moulding, high pressure die casting and EPS and EPP moulding. This gives you a single partner from initial design to finished part, shorter lead times and direct access to our toolmakers if adjustments are needed along the way.
