For a ‘one off’ or limited production run it may be possible to manufacture your part directly from a painted MDF mould. For volume production runs it will be necessary to start with a ‘plug’ which is the pattern from which the mould is made.
For a complex part, ‘plug’ manufacture can involve preparing CAD drawings, CNC machining and finishing the ‘plug’ within specified dimensions and tolerances.
FRP has invested in 5 axis CNC machinery for making ‘plugs’. CNC machines are ideal for producing ‘plugs’ with very close tolerances. To finish the ‘plug’ it is then sanded, painted and waxed before a mould is taken from it.
