Tool Concept

Understanding your goals to deliver ‘more for less’

It is essential to evaluate the form, fit and function of a part before it goes into production – and that is why involving our toolmaking expertise from the start is key.

Not only can we highlight any potential production issues, but we can help drive efficiency of production, and in a world of increasing financial pressures, deliver ‘more for less’ by ensuring cost effective solutions.

Our Tooling Specialities

From concept to design and manufacture, Paragon Toolmaking is a one-stop shop for all your tooling requirements.

Speed up product development with early prototypes

Our relationship with customers often begins at the concept stage of a new product, and as we have more than 50 years’ experience, we can add huge value from the very first stage.

By working alongside our customers, and using low cost temporary tooling, we can produce ‘Metal’ prototype samples very early in the project design process to provide speedy assessment of its viability.

How we work

With more than 50 years’ experience to call upon, we’re proud to have fine-tuned our tool-making process.

Concept Analysis

Every successful project starts with a clear brief. Once it’s fully understood by our toolmaking experts, we analyse the form and function. From this we develop the initial tooling concept ready to allow us to address every critical feature.

Design & Modelling

After agreeing any adjustments or modifications, we begin to create the final approved working 3D design – detailing every feature required to efficiently and confidently enter the manufacturing process.

Assembly & Production

Using the latest 3D manufacturing techniques we produce the high accuracy components required. Following accurate assembly the tools tested to ensure the required specification is achieved.
