Tool factory
At Idé-Pro, we have great expertise in developing and manufacturing tools.
Our in-house tool factory is optimised with high-tech, fully automatic milling machines, and robots.
At Idé-Pro, we offer manufacturing of prototype- and production tools in aluminum and steel with different hardness.
For injection moulding, we manufacture many tools in aluminum. They are significantly faster and cheaper to manufacture than traditional tools. Therefore, we can injection mould prototypes in the same material and process as series produced items in a short amount of time. Aluminum tools can be used for start-up production and small series production.
Our tool factory is located under the same roof as our plastic, light metal, and EPS/EPP foundries. That is why we measure the transport time between the two departments in minutes, not days or weeks.
Does the tool need fixing or repairing? Our skilled toolmakers can do that right as the tool comes out of the moulding machine.
With a high capacity in the tool department, we can manufacture up to 20 tools per week.
To cover the need for very large tools, we have a 6-axis Trimill VU4021, that can process workpieces up to 2100 x 4000 x 1200 mm. Also, we have the largest 5-axis Roeders built to date. It is integrated into a fully automatic cell, which has a total of four machines.
