Client: Aston Martin
Project: Reverse engineering
Overview:
Many customers have product or components no longer available for a variety of reasons. Bray can take these components and duplicate them either on a one off basis or volume production.
Bray Plastics were asked to reverse engineer an existing production forming by a prestige car manufacturer.
Challenges:
To reproduce production tooling from the original mould accounting for material shrinkage.
Solutions:
Bray reproduced section tooling which was reassembled taking shrinkage into account.
Outcome:
Orders were placed by Aston Martin for a specific custom application.
New tooling was manufactured from the original mouldings taking into account distortion and shrinkage.
The final forms were produced from fire retardant ABS.
