Digital Mould Design
Design the mould before you make it.
Turn CAD files, scans, reference photos or product ideas into mould-ready geometry, masters and practical casting plans.
CAD beside the result
Show the customer the physical route, not just the theory.
Mould design connects the digital decisions to the real objects: split moulds, support shells, mould boxes, masters and finished castings.
Mould detail made visible
Parting lines, keys, mould boxes and support shells become part of the visual plan.
Instead of describing every feature in long copy, the page gives customers a visual sense of the mould decisions Mouldcraft can handle.
Service levels

Start with 3D model creation first.
If you only have a photo, scan or rough idea, the 3D printing service can help prepare the model before the mould design stage.

Common questions
What can I send you to start a mould design?
An STL, OBJ, STEP or other CAD file, a 3D scan, or reference photos of the physical part all work. No 3D file at all? Our 3D Model Creation service can help you get one first.
Which service level do I need?
It depends on what you're set up to do yourself. Choose digital files, design plus printed master, or a fuller package with the materials to cast it.
Can every job be done end-to-end automatically?
No - not every part suits every route, and some jobs need a conversation before we can confirm what's realistic. Send your details and we'll advise honestly.
How much does mould design cost / how long does it take?
This depends on the size and complexity of the part and which service level suits it. Send your details through and we'll come back with a quote.
