What this section covers

This section brings together the practical support that sits around mould making, from early design review through to scanning, reverse engineering, master patterns, and backup tooling for future production.

If you are refining a new part, start with mould design and DFM or prototype tooling. If you have an existing item, look at 3D scanning, reverse engineering, or replacement moulds.
