Our business regularly requires low quantitative production parts. Honda Access has found a competent supplier in Materialise, being a specialist in low investment tooling for small series. Our sector is very demanding and we need partners and suppliers we can rely on. Materialise stands for fast time to market, flexibility and co-operation - an essential combination in car manufacturing.

- Up to 10,000 parts from a single mould tool – the tool will be designed to minimise costs while fulfilling your component’s visual, technical and quantity requirements. We ensure that tools are manufactured as cost effectively as possible, for example, by designing a manual or automatic tool depending on the quantity required.

- Parts in real engineering plastics – your parts can be moulded in most engineering plastics, which enables the manufacture of parts which are suitable for most production environments.

- Low investment costs in a mould tool – by creating a tool from aluminium, machining time and costs are low and the cavity of an aluminium tool can be polished quickly and cost effectively.
Short lead-times – your project can go from CAD data to moulded parts in as little as 3 weeks. 

-  Efficient moulding of small batches – as we don’t have a minimum order quantity, your low volume projects are always produced very cost effectively.

- Over mouldings – our experienced team always provide a tailored solution, including over moulding to produce parts containing more than one material, for example a PC-ABS handle over moulded with a TPE. Over moulding of electrical connections, inserts and metal plates with an engineering plastic is also achievable.
