Injection moulding · From idea to series production

Sampo Mouldings

When designing and producing moulded parts, it is important to consider the specifics of toolmaking and the material properties right from the start of component design. This guarantees a functional end product that can be manufactured economically.

Our process

Seven steps to a series part.

The earlier we are involved in your project, the better function, manufacturability and costs can be aligned. Click through the steps: from the first idea to ongoing series production.

Step 01 of 7

Idea development

You have the idea, we help make it happen. In close dialogue we understand your requirements and refine your vision step by step.

Material selection

Only the right material makes moulded parts durable and functional. We always consider service temperature, media and acting forces. In most cases we can draw on proven experience.

Component design

We validate function and manufacturability. Small details often decide feasibility. The earlier we are involved, the sooner design features can be aligned and costly corrections avoided.

Prototypes

Simple prototype tools let us validate function and quality early and speed up development. Meaningful prototypes are produced by injection moulding, the same technology as the later series.

Tool design

Tools are precision production equipment and directly determine component quality. Quantities and quality requirements define the tool design and therefore the tooling costs.

Sampling

Before series production, every tool is trialled. You receive the sample parts for inspection and approval.

Series production

After your approval we manufacture to the agreed inspection plan. Quality records ensure traceability of raw materials and production data. After every production lot, the tools are cleaned, maintained and stored safely.

Why Sampo

Material and manufacturing from a single source.

As a TPU producer and processor, we support your moulded part from raw material to inspected series part:

Our own TPU materials

Granulates from our own production and the experience of processing them.

Early technical consulting

Aligning design features before corrections become costly.

Prototypes using series technology

Meaningful samples produced by injection moulding.

Quality to inspection plan

Certified to ISO 9001:2015, documented inspection records.

Traceability

Raw materials and production data traceable at any time.

Secure tool storage

Cleaned and maintained after every lot, stored ready for use.

Which material for what? All TPU families and their strengths at a glance

For your enquiry

These details move your project forward quickly.

The more we know about your application, the faster you receive a well-founded assessment. Even incomplete details are a good start.

CAD data or drawing

3D model (e.g. STEP) or drawing. A sketch is enough to get started.

Quantities & lot sizes

Annual demand and typical call-off quantities. Both determine the tool design.

Operating conditions

Temperature, media and acting forces at the point of use.

Tolerances & inspection criteria

Dimensional accuracy, surfaces and characteristics to be inspected.
