Gauge Design
TTS offers gauge design through trusted partners, supported by full TTS project management and quality assurance, ensuring consistent standards across all projects.
Capabilities
Our capabilities are many, forming, drawing, tandem, transfer, and progression tooling designs for the metal stamping industry & injection mould tool design for plastic component manufacturers.
In the UK & through our strategic partnerships we offer simple or complex, small, medium or large tool designs and simulation.
Supported by a highly skilled team based in the UK, Europe & Asia specialising in ECR, tool modification & full tooling & gauge design.
Experience-Driven Design
Every design we produce is informed by practical manufacturing experience. We design for strength, quality, and repeatability, with a clear understanding of the impact to cost and efficiency that die changeovers, tool component removals or part & scrap ejection can have.
Our approach focuses on a simple approach, to design tooling with our customers own manufacturing capabilities in mind, simplifying the complex where possible, selecting the most suitable components, materials, and coatings to meet the demands of production, considering tool maintenance & tool stripping. The TTS Design for Manufacture (DFM) philosophy, combined with proactive project management and integrated QA are designed to ensure that our customers’ requirements come first.
Technology and Integration
In the UK we utilise Hexagon VISI tool design software to perform component review, simulation & tool design.
Where specialist design & simulation input is required, we integrate expertise through our strategic partnerships while maintaining UK project management, providing clients with a coordinated and efficient design solution for the simple to the complex.
We accept all industry-standard data formats — CATIA, STP, IGS, DWG, and more. Contact us today for an obligation-free consultation to discuss how TTS can support your tooling design requirements.
