UK Tooling
CAD Tool Design
The Weston Boxes ‘Peel Off Box’ mould tool – Precision Plastic Injection Mould Tool Design and Manufacture.
S.B.Weston Ltd can design and manufacture plastic injection mould tools in house.
Whether it is a low cost, low run prototype mould or a high volume mould tool requiring robotic handling, S.B.Weston have the design
and build experience required.
Our toolroom has full CAD/CAM tooling facilities and a specialist CNC trained in house designer / machine programmer who will take the finalised component and model a fully functioning plastic injection mould around it.

CAM Tool Manufacture
We have access to diagnostic software which allows us to simulate the flow of plastic into the mould cavity. The software will detect flow restrictions, areas prone to weld lines, voids and sinks, shorting or flashing.
Maintenance and repair on in house tools can be done quickly and efficiently minimising the delay caused to the production process.
We store all our tools on site and can mould additional runs of your product in ten working days or less, thanks to our wide range of machines
the running, and inevitable tweaking for production when it arrives at S.B.Weston’s plant in West London.
The savings involved with Chinese tools are clearly appealing, however we always try to support UK industry and manufacturing and so prefer to tool up in house if it is feasable.
When we manufacture your tool in house you will be invited to view the progress. The standard of our toolmaking and the quality of the HASCO produced component parts we use such as their Hot Runner Systems is unrivaled. There is no overseas shipping involved and the tool upon completion is ready for testing and production. UK manufacturing of plastic injection moulds is more costly as a result of the price of raw materials and labour, however, lead times are greatly reduced due to the lack of transit .
