Introduction
Rotational moulding projects may take many different forms, the data available at the outset may vary from the proverbial 'cigarette packet sketch' to a fully defined 3-D CAD model complete with all associated documentation. The tool may consist of two parts with a flat split line, fabricated from sheet steel to produce a simplified version of the moulding (as a proof of design concept) or at the other end of the scale it can consist of multiple parts CNC machined from aluminium billet, with complex side cores and core sliders, and multiple moulded-in inserts etc.
With such a variety of inputs and outputs the nature of the work of getting from one stage to the other can obviously be very varied; tecni-form have therefore chosen a project where two forms of data were used at the outset, and two different methods of manufacture were used for the two tools required, thus giving a broader description of the nature of the work than would be possible when describing just one project.
