Tool Making

Tool making is the development of specialised tools, such as dies, moulds, fixtures, and guides, used in shaping, cutting, and forming materials. These tools are crucial to consistent production, helping to ensure that components meet dimensional and performance specifications at scale.

At European Springs & Pressings, we design and manufacture production tools that meet the needs of a wide range of industries, from automotive and electronics to aerospace and industrial machinery.

Our Tool Making Process

We combine CAD design, precision machining, and hands-on experience to deliver tooling that works from the first run.

Key stages include:

  • Design and Planning: We develop tools around your exact part specifications, material requirements, and production environment. CAD models are reviewed and approved before fabrication begins.
  • Material Selection: Tool steels and wear-resistant alloys are selected for strength, heat resistance, and longevity, especially for high-volume or high-pressure applications.
  • Manufacturing and Assembly: Tools are machined and finished in-house using CNC equipment and grinding machinery, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability.

Types of Tools We Produce

We supply a wide range of custom tooling, including:

  • Fixtures and Positioning Tools: Custom-built jigs and guides that hold components in place during forming, welding, or assembly operations.
  • Stamping Dies and Press Tools: Used in metal pressing and forming operations, including compound and progression tooling for fast, repeatable output.
  • Cutting, Drilling, and Profiling Tools: Developed to match your machine setup and material type, ensuring clean cuts and reduced tool wear.
  • Inspection Gauges and Control Devices: Designed to verify component dimensions and tolerances, supporting in-process quality control.

Bespoke Tooling Services

Every production line has its own requirements, and our tooling solutions are built to match. Whether you’re setting up a new process or improving an existing one, we’ll design the tools that help you reduce variation, increase output, and extend equipment life. Contact us today to speak with our team and start developing tools that work for your production goals.

Need something bespoke?

And even if we don’t have exactly the tool we need, European Springs’ in house technology enables us rapidly to design and make complex tools, allowing us to offer more competitive prices.
