Electrical applications
Switchgear is a published molding application; tooling requirements are developed for the specific component. Application scope ↗
ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING
Tool engineering.
Tool engineering.
Mold fabrication.
SolidWorks mold design, DFM, mold-flow analysis and FMEA, connected to in-house CNC and EDM fabrication, trials, repair and maintenance. The tool is developed around the part, material, machine and acceptance requirements.
SERVICE CAPABILITIES
What we can support.
| Capability | Scope & engineering considerations |
|---|---|
| Design & engineering | SolidWorks mold design, DFM, mold-flow analysis and FMEA. Define parting, gating, cooling, ejection and movement requirements before release to fabrication. Molding-engineering scope ↗ |
| In-house fabrication | CNC and EDM machining within GIH’s tooling house, connecting the approved design to mold fabrication and subsequent adjustment. |
| Trials & acceptance | Define the machine, resin, cavity-specific measurement plan and sample criteria. Complete buy-off within a 2-day window once the tool or process is ready for acceptance. |
| Repair & maintenance | Custom-tool repair and maintenance support. Scope depends on the damage, construction, material and required return-to-service condition. Service details ↗ |
| Tool information management | Proprietary in-house tool-management software developed in 2026 supports the advanced-automation direction. Project records, tool identifiers and handover requirements are agreed with the customer. |

PROJECT HANDOVERS
Define the output at each stage.
-
01
Review the part
Check geometry, critical dimensions, resin, expected volume and machine compatibility.
-
02
Release the tool design
Agree the tool architecture, gating, cooling, ejection and acceptance plan.
-
03
Fabricate and trial
Machine and assemble the mold; trial it using the specified material and agreed process conditions.
-
04
Approve and hand over
Review samples and dimensional evidence, document open actions and agree production release and maintenance requirements.
SCOPE YOUR PROJECT
What to include in your brief.
- 2D/3D part data, drawing revision, material grade and shrinkage requirements.
- Cavity target, production demand, runner preference, surface finish and anticipated tool-life requirement.
- Machine interface, mold envelope, inserts, core movement and automation interfaces.
- Sample quantity, critical-feature inspection, buy-off criteria and ownership/handover requirements.
Quotation target: 1 week from a complete technical brief. Production, tooling and qualification schedules are scoped separately.
