Toolmaking
Toolmaking is a specialised area of mechanical engineering that focuses on the development and manufacture of tools that are used in various manufacturing processes. These tools can range from simple hand tools to highly complex machines and devices.
From shaping stone hammers to forging robots, toolmaking transcends time, transforming ideas into instruments that empower progress. Through craftsmanship and ingenuity, it empowers us to build, solve, and create, shaping the world around us, one tool at a time.
Tool design
A central aspect of toolmaking is tool design. This involves the planning and design of tools to ensure that they function efficiently and deliver the desired results. The design may also include the selection of appropriate materials and manufacturing techniques. Tool design requires a deep understanding of the requirements of the manufacturing process and the ability to develop innovative solutions to fulfil these requirements.
Mould design is also closely linked to manufacturing engineering. This involves the selection and application of processes to produce tools, such as casting, forging, milling, turning and grinding. These techniques require a high degree of precision and expertise to ensure that the tools produced meet the specific requirements of the manufacturing process.
