Tool Trials & Sample Production

Ensuring tools are ready to run on installation

At Paragon Toolmaking we are able to trial, develop and prove all press tools thoroughly before delivery to our customers’ production sites.

We work hard to replicate the final production environment of our clients to address any potential issues and ensure minimum hassle when installing, ensuring customers can start producing parts immediately.

Our Tooling Specialities

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

Product samples provided

Customers are welcome to come to our site and view “tool trials” in order to evaluate their tools pre-production.

Where possible we also provide product samples prior to the final construction of a tool, helping our customers carry out pre-production test builds on site and action other post processes earlier and before the final tool is delivered.

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.

The die ran extremely well at 50 parts per minute with good quality. We have now commissioned the tool ready for production. The toolmakers deserve a pat on the back.

Paul, New Tooling Engineer – Automotive – Sunderland

Our customer has laid down three sets of tooling, one in Taiwan, one in the UK and one with Paragon Toolmaking. The parts off the Paragon tool are the best by far.
