Industrial Tooling

Large-format molds, form blocks and production tooling.

For industrial manufacturers, we produce large-format tooling — layup tools, thermoforming molds, concrete formwork, foundry patterns and production jigs — in weeks rather than the months a traditional pattern shop requires. Material and surface strategy is developed against the tool's cycle life and process temperature.

Industrial Tooling — LOOPFORM

Applications

  • Composite layup tools and form blocks
  • Thermoforming and vacuum-forming molds
  • Concrete and GFRC formwork
  • Foundry patterns and production jigs

How We Engage

  • Cycle life and process temperature matched to material family
  • Release strategy and surface finish specified before production
  • Tolerance verified with scan / probe on the finished tool

Outcomes

  • Compressed lead times vs. the traditional pattern-shop route
  • Complex tool geometry the machine shop cannot economically produce
  • A predictable specialty vendor for one-off and short-run tooling

Common questions

What we're asked.

How many cycles will the tool hold?
Cycle life depends on process, temperature and material; we quote against a target cycle count agreed at brief.
Can you replicate an existing tool?
Yes — we accept CAD, scan data or a physical master to rebuild an existing tool to the same or improved finish.
What sizes can you print?
Envelopes scale from bench-top jigs up to full-scale layup tools measured in metres.
