What moulding/casting processes does Idé-Pro offer?

We have three moulding/casting processes:

  • Injection moulding of plastic parts
  • High pressure casting of aluminium, zinc or magnesium parts
  • Moulding of EPS and EPP parts

Read more about our moulding processes here >

What are prototypes in the right material and process?

At Idé-Pro, we mould/cast prototypes in the right material and the right process, so that they have the same properties as the final part.

  • We injection mould prototypes in plastic
  • We high pressure die cast prototypes in aluminium, zinc and magnesium

The prototypes can be used in start-up production.

What is a tool?

A tool is the mould used in the production process for injection moulding of plastics, high pressure die casting of light metals and moulding of EPS/EPP.

We manufacture tools in our in-house tool factory.

What is your delivery time for prototypes?

The lead time varies depending on the scope of your project. Our standard delivery times, after approval of the 3D file, are as follows:

  • Delivery time for injection moulded prototypes: 3–6 weeks
    • (10–12 weeks for large and complex parts)

  • Delivery time for high pressure die cast prototypes: 5–8 weeks
    • (12–14 weeks for large and complex parts)

  • Fast Track plastic prototypes: 1–3 weeks
    • (depending on size and complexity)

  • Fast Track light metal prototypes: 3–5 weeks
    • (depending on size and complexity)
