iform – Toolmaking by igus

Precise moulds are a prerequisite for high-quality components. At igus, we manufacture the moulds for our injection moulding in iform, our in-house tool shop. In addition to complete moulds specially tailored to individual product requirements, we also manufacture moulds in a modular system consisting of tool extensions and mould inserts. We can quickly fit various mould inserts into an assembly that is built onto the injection moulding machine and thus manufacture a wide variety of products.

From mould development through production and sampling to quality control with computer tomography support, the creation of a mould is therefore completely in our hands. This gives us the opportunity to implement requests for individual components at short notice and in perfect quality. As mould making is involved in development and consultation with the customer at an early stage, we can offer not only suitable materials but also the right tool manufacturing processes to reduce overall costs. Depending on the order volume, a mould can also be produced as print2mold in 3D printing, also on site naturally and made from our proven high-performance plastics.
