Prototype & Low-Volume Injection Moulding

At Protoshape, we specialise in prototype and low-volume injection moulding for businesses across Scotland. Whether you need initial product testing, small production runs, or proof-of-concept parts, our bolster tools and insert plates allow us to deliver fast, cost-effective, and high-quality parts.

Fast, Cost-Effective Prototyping

Our prototyping capabilities include:
  • Bolster tools that can produce thousands of parts quickly
  • Insert plates for flexible, low-volume runs
  • Tool-grade aluminium tooling for rapid, affordable production
  • Expert advice on materials, including commodity, engineering, recycled, and biodegradable plastics
By using these methods, we provide high-quality prototypes at lower cost and shorter lead times than full steel moulds.
