Models & Moulds

Need your dimensions spot on?

The specialist patternmakers at GPM use a range of materials to create accurate models and moulds for any application. We specialise in producing models/moulds for the refractory industry. Our moulds can be for any level of demand, from one-off casts to large-batch production. 

Please contact us to discuss all your casting and pre-production model and mould requirements.

 

Our modeling/pattern shop is where the manual skill is seen in the design and manufacture of new models and moulds in a multitude of materials, including:

  • Plaster (often required for porous applications e.g. slip casting and certain vibrocasting mixes).

  • Polyurethane Tooling Board

  • Woods - hard wood/soft woods

  • Rubbers (such as polyurethane, silicones, etc.)

  • Resins

  • Fibreglass - Epoxy and Polyester

  • Polystyrene

  • Metals

  • Plastics

  • Ceramics (drying and firing service also available - see other services).

Our model and mould design experience enables us to efficiently and effectively create products that are user friendly, cost effective, and will withstand the demands of high-batch to mass production.
