Pattern Making
With our fully fitted out Pattern Shop we have the facilities to produce patterns in house either by hand by our Master Pattern Maker or our CNC Router. We can produce Concept Models, Prototypes, Foundry Patterns and GRP Patterns, finished to a customers requirement.
This three piece tooling was manufactured from a pattern making resin board to produce removable rubber inserts in a larger solid surface tool.
The combination of model board and Polyurethane Resin were used to produced the pattern for a Solid Surface Basin
We manufactured this pattern using our 3-axis CNC Router to produce decorative brackets for a prestigious conservatory company.
With the aid of our 3d printer we produced this large Shackle Pattern, we applied a polyester high build primer to create a uniform finish then applied a final polyester primer coat to a light texture to replicate a cast iron effect. The completed component now hangs from the anchor attached to HMS Warrior in Portsmouth Harbour.
A half pattern was produced to enable a single mould to be manufactured, from this mould two GRP Components were made, once brought together this made a circular water trough that contained of decorative water feature ready in time for the Chelsea Flower Show.
