About Beechcraft PU Moulding

Beechcraft PU Moulding and Design have over 50 years’ experience in producing custom enclosures and mouldings from rigid structural Polyurethane. We specialise in producing low volume, high quality mouldings from low-cost tooling with rapid turnaround from ‘Concept to Reality’

We offer a comprehensive range of services in Rigid Polyurethane (RIM) Technology

Why Choose Polyurethane?

Tough, Rigid Mouldings
Cost-Effective Low-Volume Production
Excellent Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Design Flexibility
Durable and Long-Lasting
Customisable Finishes

What is it?

Our Polyurethane is a rigid self-skinning expanded foam system specifically blended to produce tough rigid and structural mouldings to a high specification.

What is it good for?

Low-run batch quantities of mouldings for electronics enclosures and devices that benefit from varying wall sections from 1.5 – 40mm locally that can create an integral chassis in conjunction with strength and aesthetics. It is an excellent material for handheld devices or those requiring the benefits of the material’s excellent insulation properties or buoyancy.

What is the Process?

Reactive Injection Moulding (RIM) is an Iso / Polyol blend which is injected under low pressure into a closed aluminium mould. The mixture expands rapidly expelling air from the cavity, filling the mould tool with a rigid structural polyurethane that consists of a hard outer skin with softer inner core, giving an average density of 600-650 kg/m3 ( on a typical 6mm wall section).

Why is it Cost Effective?

Aluminium Tooling is a fraction of the cost of plastic injection mould tools with the benefit that start-up costs and modifications are considerably cheaper with short lead times.

If your requirements are 20-1,500 units per annum and your project has a high intrinsic value, this is the process for you.

Mouldings are exceptionally durable and can last decades. Its strength and rigidity mean far fewer breakages than other similar processes.

Product Design

Product Design is where your ideas begin to take shape. Our expert design team works closely with you to transform concepts into functional, high-quality moulded products. Whether you’re starting with a rough sketch or detailed CAD files, we provide full design support.

Tooling

Our Tooling services are key to producing high-precision moulded components. Beechcraft specialises in designing and manufacturing low-cost aluminum tooling that ensures accuracy and durability for your project.

Materials & Finishes

We offer a variety of Materials & Finishes to give your product the perfect balance of functionality and aesthetics. From structural integrity to surface treatments, our materials and finishing options are designed to meet your specific needs.

Areas In Which We Work In

Medical

Our mouldings are used in medical devices, enclosures for diagnostic equipment, and housings for portable instruments. Our RIM technology ensures smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces, making polyurethane an excellent choice for medical-grade equipment.

Research

Our polyurethane mouldings provide excellent chemical resistance and structural integrity for laboratory instruments and research tools. We also offer coatings that provide additional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI).

Music

We create enclosures for audio equipment and instruments. Whether it’s custom speaker cabinets, musical instruments, or electronic housings, we provide durable and acoustically optimised mouldings.

Testing

We create enclosures that house testing equipment and measurement devices, ensuring they are protected against environmental factors and mechanical stresses.

Portfolio

We take pride in delivering high-quality, custom polyurethane moulding solutions across a wide range of industries. From electronic enclosures to complex structural designs, our portfolio showcases the breadth of our expertise and the innovative projects we’ve helped bring to life.
