Heron Stopper

Tool making and manufacturing of a new product that keeps herons out of domestic ponds: Product to appear on sale in early 2007.Complicated tool with intricate work required. The inventor’s design was imported in CAD format and rendered for cutting using our latest CAD 3D software. We have made some alterations to the basic design to ensure a smooth finish. In this case we also advised on the materials to use. The customer required a plastic which would withstand a wide range of temperatures but which would be easy to handle and cost effective to produce. Using flow analysis software we have established the optimum mould pressure and hot runner position to maintain product strength and durability. HMT will produce the first 2000 injection moulded items on site.
