Experience:

We can design plastic, metal, glass and wood components and systems for manufacturing in the following processes:  Injection molding, blow molding, roto molding, high pressure die casting, conventional gravity casting, vacuum forming, carbon- , metal- , and glass fiber pressings.  We can also design the tooling and CNC toolpaths for these products.

Field of expertise:
  • Business start-up feasibility studies.
  • Electronic enclosures for example: Modems, telephones and two-way radios
  • Bottles for: Shampoo, anti-freeze and sports drinks
  • Point of Sale displays for chocolate bars, cold drinks and wetsuites.
  • Electrical adapters designed according to SABS standards.
  • Plastic, Aluminium and Stainless Steel household appliances for example, footspa, porridge maker and kettles.
  • Realistic renderings to market your product.
  • Reverse Engineering of complex surface models for example, pump impellers, motorcar arm-rests (Nissan Almeira), motorcar steering wheels (Hyundai Elantra), mag wheels(Mercedes-Benz)
  • Mould Design on complex split lines and tool slide mechanisms
  • CNC toolpaths on complex surface cavities and mould split lines

Bennie Nel can design your product, design the tooling for the product, program the 3 axis CNC machine to cut the tooling and manage the total process to give you the most cost effective product.  The benefit is that we don't only produce a pretty picture and leave you with the bill and headaches with tooling and manufacture.  
When we design you get a professional product.
