Our business

A) Company history
Technimoules , a very high precision mold maker, has been in the business since 1972. With more than 30 years of experience, our employees master technical and practical knowledge of design and building of molds and injection of plastic parts.

Today, TECHNI-MOULES offers its clients a range of global solutions for plastic molding industry.

B) Products and services

Working with clients to determine their needs
TECHNI-MOULES offers clients its vast experience in project definition:
- needs analysis, particularly in terms of shape: parts analysis, development and review of specifications, assessment of plastic types, matrix drawings, etc.
- material selection: appropriate plastic type given the part to be molded and adequate steel for the mold.

Designing the mold
The engineering office designs the mold to client specifications:
- 3D drawings of parts and molds
- 2D drawings of molds
- Rollout of assembly mechanisms


Machine tooling
Molds are manufactured from final drawings, using high-precision machinery installed in air-conditioned workshops:
Milling - Turning/Shaping - Erosion - Grinding - Adjustment

Press testing
The first trials are conducted at this stage, followed by any adjustments that may be required before the mold is finalized:
- Molds are mounted on the press and tested
- Injection of plastic (half load)
- Non-stress tests
- Stress tests
- Final adjustments

Plastic parts are inspected and measured using digital or traditional control methods.
The mold is then delivered with user guidelines (to enable rapid operation) and the warranty.

Injection
The manufacturing plant handles injection molding for limited editions as well as medium and long runs. By combining experienced professionals and state-of-the-art equipment, TECHNI-MOULES is able to guarantee that the end product is of consistently of high quality.
TECHNI-MOULES can also handle more complex jobs: molds using different configuration types, bi-injection, bi-material, over-molding, multi-impressions, etc.




Methods
One specialty: very high-precision molds
In response to client demand, TECHNI-MOULES has developed a total design and build process.
TECHNI-MOULES understands that quality is the best guarantee of client satisfaction. It fully meets the quality standards that apply to the design and building of high-precision molds.

B) ISO certified
Your guarantee of quality
- We obtained
ISO 9002 certification in 1998 for the production of injected parts of recognized quality.
- We obtained
ISO 9001 certification in December 2000 for the high level of expertise of our mold design and production engineers.
- We have also been certified in other areas: the aeronautics and automotive industries and the military industry.
