For businesses in niche industries, custom tooling solutions are critical for producing high-quality plastic parts, prototype mouldings, and low-volume mouldings that meet precise specifications. ID Mouldings specialises in providing bespoke tooling and PU moulding solutions for sectors requiring advanced materials, high precision, and tailored production methods.

Whether you work in automotive, medical devices, consumer electronics, aerospace, or defence or require part replication, our custom tooling solutions optimise performance, cost, and scalability.

What is Custom Tooling?

Custom tooling involves designing and manufacturing moulds, dies, and fixtures specific to a product’s requirements. These tools allow manufacturers to produce high-quality plastic products efficiently, consistently, and repeatably.

Investing in custom plastic parts ensures superior product performance and regulatory compliance in niche industries requiring specialised materials and complex geometries.

✅  Tailored moulds for specific components
✅  Optimised production efficiency and cost savings
✅  High-performance tooling for demanding applications
