Injection moulding made easy with manufacturer BEC Group
Hampshire-based manufacturers BEC Group specialise in tooling, injection moulding and filter production. Carrying out all services on-site, this agile manufacturer prides itself on working closely with customers to provide an excellent end-to-end injection moulding service.
With decades of experience under BEC’s roof, they offer a range of traditional and more complex aspects of tooling and moulding, including:
– Product Design Engineering
– Bespoke Filter Design & Moulding
– Overmoulding
– Insert Moulding
– Rapid Tooling
– Repairs and Modifications
– 3D Printing Prototyping
Always up for a challenge, the tight-knit team are no stranger to projects other moulders can’t or won’t take on. “We usually find a way to achieve what our customers are looking for” explains engineering director Mike Tharme. “We’re experimental and aren’t afraid to try new techniques and ideas to solve a problem for our customers”.
Quality
BEC are committed to continually improving and delivering the best quality service expected from UK manufacturing. As such, they are proud to hold the internationally renowned ISO 9001:2015 certification. Tailored quality inspection protocols of up to 100% of mouldings can be implemented around customer and industry requirements alongside standard first and last-off checks.
Design for Manufacture
By identifying opportunities for reducing timelines and costs at the design stage, a DFM or design for manufacture is one of the best places to invest your time when manufacturing a product. Potential issues such as wall thickness and draft, material selection, gate position must all be considered when optimising the part for tooling and production.
Reshoring
Delays, poor communication, and long lead times are all common pain points for companies outsourcing their injection moulding overseas. BEC specialise in helping customers bring their production back to the UK through re-tooling or moving existing tooling. With ease of communication (including visits to view your production if required), no more expensive shipping, and quick moulding turnaround, it’s a no-brainer.
Filter Tooling and Moulding
Serving industries ranging domestic appliances to automotive, and everything in between- BEC are experts in encapsulating bespoke filters. Filtering air, oil, water, and debris across depth-media, plastic, woven and non-woven materials BEC are versatile filter manufacturers. These overmoulded plastic filtration devices ship globally in hundreds of thousands a year.
Rapid Tooling
Need to produce an injection moulded part quickly for proof of concept or testing? BEC’s rapid tooling service might be just what you’re looking for. By creating prototype tools, there is minimal initial outlay and time required before the part and tooling is approved. BEC’s rapid tooling is produced from the same P20 steel as all their tools, but with small tweaks to the tool design process that allow it to be made much faster and therefore more cheaply.
Above all, BEC strives to work closely with customers old and new to produce high-quality tooling and moulding. With a can-do attitude and an accommodating production team, they make plastic injection moulding easy.
