Services for Manufacturers

Injection Moulding
Encap offers cost effective low volume moulding: typically between 100 and 50,000 parts. Larger volume batches are also possible depending on part size and weight. Prior to the first production run we supply free sample parts to ensure your satisfaction.

Component Encapsulation
We have years of experience in product encapsulation by overmoulding. Some examples of using the process are, to add a protective layer around delicate electronics, to enhance design aesthetics or to add functionality to a design.

Insert Moulding
Injection moulded parts requiring metal inserts are also possible either by loading the inserts into the tool prior to moulding or by pushing the inserts into the parts after moulding.

Secondary Operations (Second Ops)
Some design features are produced more cost effectively by performing secondary operations, drilling, tapping or milling after injection moulding.

Sonic Welding
We are able to offer Sonic Welding of plastic component assemblies. Sonic welding offers an alternative to other fixing methods such as screws, snap fits or adhesives.

Wide Selection of Materials
At Encap we have the ability to process a wide variety of materials including, but not limited to PP, PE, POM, PA6, PA66, ABS, ASA, PC, PVDF, PPE, HIPS, GPPS.

Design and Development
Using the latest 3D CAD software we are able to offer design and development of products in house. With our knowledge and expertise we can advise on the feasability of your design as an injection moulded product and offer solutions which benefit productivity and cost savings.
Encap will create a 3D CAD model of your design from initial concept sketches or we'll use your own CAD data. We are able to accept CAD data in a variety of file formats and media.

Prototypes and Models
You will be able to see how your part will look as a finished product as we can arrange manufacture of pre-production prototypes, block models or SLA, SLS.

3D CAD Injection Mould Tool Design
Encap can design injection mould tools either from supplied CAD data or from product designs we create for you in-house.

New Injection Mould Tooling
Encap has close links with local toolmakers and can source injection mould tooling plus any additional jigs and fixtures which may be required to assemble and finish your product.
You can be confident that tooling sourced by Encap will be maintained throughout it's working life.

Existing Injection Mould Tooling
If you supply an existing mould tool, we will assess its suitablility for the expected life of the project and organise any modifcations or improvments as required.
