Compatibility with Rapid Injection Moulding

Generally, any conventionally injection mouldable material can be specified. If the material is relatively exotic, and we don't have it in stock, there may be an extra charge for us to procure a minimum quantity. Delivery could also be affected if the material is not readily available from the resin distributors. We are happy to work with specific resins you already use and would like to supply to us.

Availability of Colorants

Colours are available, and quickly if a rough approximation is acceptable. Exact colour matching to a sample piece is also possible but can be a lengthy (e.g. 2 - 6 weeks) process.
