Our first Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) injection mould

We are delighted to have finished making - some two weeks after the steel arrived and now trialed - our first Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) injection mould for new client Air Control Entech to provide the frame of a face visor: Thanks to a lot of hard work by a lot of people, especially Simon Duke, our Toolroom Manager...

Pictured below is Apprentice Zac Feeman with a trialled part in his hands... as well as one on his head.
